    Hello! I don't know how to post pics here but check my profile. The latest pic is me in Nov. in a purple dress. Its a size 6, a little snug, but I still want to lose some more. I have lost about 22 lbs so far. I have been a little lazy this winter, but I plan to get back on track to finish the last little bit.

    I also don't think its racist, many times the posts are mostly of white women, which I enjoy as well, but nothing wrong with wanting to see women who may be shaped similarly or have a similar build. I also post when they ask for short women, which presents its own unique set of challenges. Also congrats to the women who posted here about your weight loss :flowerforyou:

    Just FYI, your pix don't appear to be visible on your profile page.

    Oh okay, I didn't know that. I'll see what I can do to fix it...thanks!

    Let's take a magical journey down what I like to call "The path of being less of a fatbutt" as told in pictures.


    165 pounds and drunk. Not cute

    Somewhere between 155 and 160.

    Around 140 (bad pictures are bad)

    Still trucking along. So more in progress than success.

    Here's my before and in progress photo's. It's far from over. I fell off the wagon for a few months but now I'm back to pick myself back up. Here's me in my heaviest and lightest since being an adult. It's a work in progress!

    Heaviest weight 260
    Current weight 160's

    Awesome work!
