I took a pics in my bathroom mirror after 15 lbs and was really encouraged by the progress so now that I've made it 30 lbs I took some more but sadly these aren't quite as encouraging.

I can definitely see a difference, I guess I was just hoping for a more dramatic improvement after 30 lbs... this has definitely awakened me to the fact that I should be able to EASILY get down to 150, maybe even less.

Also, I think I may have been sucking in my gut a little bit in the middle pictures, but definitely not today.

    You are looking good. Keep it up... Take any acomplishment as good thing no matter how small it is... I watch the biggest loser and when they people get down close to their goal weight the pounds come off slower and slower and the changes are smaller and smallr... so keep it up you are doing great..... before long the girls wont be able to stay away that is if they are not already swarming ,.......

    I see a definite change between the 184 and the 171 especially in your waist & in your shoulders/chest. Much more defined & your shoulders look less broad. you look amazing, keep it up!!!

    You look GREAT! You are doing a great job! I'm sure you are toning all over. Some areas are hard to see like the legs and arms when you look at yourself but I bet you can feel it in your cloths! Keep up the great work!

    Oh yeah, I have to wear a belt now with my size 36 jeans that I was really squeezing into a few months ago... a few more lbs and I think I'm going to break my old 34s
    how do you get the pics like that...is it a software to set them up like that..or r u a super computer wiz??? I want to badly to have pics like this but have NO CLUE how to do it.

    I used photoshop which I just happen to have for work, it is a rather robust and expensive application, but I think there are lots of free online utilities you could use... try googleing "free photo collage"
    I see a definite change between the 184 and the 171 especially in your waist & in your shoulders/chest. Much more defined & your shoulders look less broad

    Yeah, I think I was just hoping it would come off my love handles before my chest and shoulders :)


    Everyone else, thanks a TON for the kind words... it means a lot. I know that all the before/after pics on this site have been a major source of inspiration for me, so I'm just hoping mine can eventually do the same for someone else.

    This is about the weight where I've always stopped dieting before and said "good enough" but no way I'm stopping now, this is a change for good.

    I see it alot in your face, you don't realize that your face gains it also. Your face has slimed down dramatically. Way to go!!! Keep up the good work!
