My story, my pics-105lbs and counting

My story.

I said I would post before/after pics after losing 100lbs. Like many, I look at before&after pics for inspiration and motivation-especially in those self bashing/irritating plateau periods. Truth be told, I don't read the essays, so I'm not gonna write (a long) one. Got large, didn't like it, made changes. The end.

So, stats, then pics:-

Start date: 6/8/12-after seeing horrific pics of myself at my nephew's 1st birthday.

Height: 5ft 9.5in


SW: 265lbs
CW: 160lbs
GW: 150lbs

Concluding, would like to say thanks. To everyone. I don't post a lot, but have read a lot of things that helped, seen a lot of impressive before/afters and found support instead of judgement. And I realised that I hate that I love Jillian Michaels.

I won't wish you luck, because luck has nothing to do with making positive changes. I will suggest that you show yourself the same kind of support you show your partner/bestie/child/parent(delete as appropriate). Once you decide to do something, you don't have to think about it anymore. You just have to do it.

    All I can say is wow! You've done an amazing and inspiring job. I have a hard time just looking in a Mirror, let alone pictures of myself.

    You look trim and happy (and I definitely don't see where thirty more pounds would come from!) All the best on your healthy journey. ^_^

    You look amazing. I also love Jillian Michaels. I'm currently doing a Turbo Fire/Insanity Hybrid. Chalene Johnson and Shaun T aren't half bad either LOL.

    Wow, that is amazing! I'm on my way to your goal weight as well and have been stalled for quite some time, but am doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution after finishing Ripped in 30 and yes she does deliver results. What Jillian Michaels program did you do?

    You look so healthy! What an amazing loss. I like how matter-of-fact you are about this. lol It's easy for me to let emotions get in the way but this time it needs to be as simple as eating less and moving more.
