    Awesome job! Over 100 pounds is simply incredible! Major difference! You should feel very proud of yourself and what you have worked so hard to achieve!

    When people notice is a strange thing. If they see you every day, they won't say anything until one day it just hits them. My wife and I both didn't hear anyone say anything until we started buying new clothes. Also, a lot of people don't say anything to women about weight even if they're losing. People might not want to bring up weight to you fearing that you might be sensitive about the issue.

    On another note, my niece weighs a tad over 100 lbs. Imagine having a 100 lb person hanging off your back. That's how much you've lost!! We always find it fun when we go to Costco to pick up big slabs of meat that weigh what we've lost. You'd fill up a cart!! Congratulations.

    You look absolutely radiant and should be so proud of your amazing accomplishment. My sister has lost 100lb since beginning her healthier lifestyle and I'm planning on sharing your story with her. I'm hoping you'll inspire her to post her own before/after to share with others on this motivating forum. I'm sending you a friend request that I hope you'll accept. I want to follow your progress and also suggest my sis do the same :love:

    Congratulations! What an inspiration you are!

    The main thing that jumps out at me in these two photos (in addition to the amazing weight loss) is how much easier you seem to be standing. In the first, it looks like you were using the chair as a prop to help stay upright where, in the other, you were tall and proud and with good reason!

    Well done!

    Congrats! I need to lose over 100lbs, and have just started my journey. I have been meaning to take before pictures, your post inspired me to work hard, and I had my daughter take my "before".

    You are awesome!

    Congratulations! What a fabulous transformation! You should be so proud of yourself. You can see such a difference in your body and your confidence in the pictures :) Don't short change yourself... there is nothing little about 100 lbs. What an inspiration you are! I totally understand the photos. I actually did a before and after last night because I felt like I wasn't seeing as much change in the mirror. Seeing it in the pics really helps. You look fantastic - way to go!

    Yesterday, I officially lost 100 pounds in 50 weeks, and I wasn't happy about it. What?!! Yeah, for whatever reason, I was just blah about it.

    Today, I got up early, did my hair & makeup, put on my starting dress and had a buddy snap a quick picture. When she showed it to me, I said WOW!!!! You can totally see a difference. Then when I lined today's pic with last year's pic, it was insanely obvious. No one in my real life has noticed, and I don't expect them to. I have soooooo much to lose. Anyway, just thought I'd share my mini goal with you all. It's possible, and I feel great! And take pictures at regular intervals, in the same clothes if you can.

    OMG -100lbs is a MINI GOAL?!?!?!? you've so accomplished a MAJOR goal here!! OWN IT!!! You look fabulous. It's not uncommon for those who see you everyday to not notice, although 100lbs is a big difference. Maybe they are not sure how to approach you about it since it may be a sensitive issue? i lost about 30lbs once and nobody noticed either, although, they never noticed out loud that I'd gained it all back either lol.

    Forget everyone else. Let them miss out on the great person you are and are discovering yourself to be!! Keep up the continued success! You so GOT THIS!!

    You are AMAZING!! Regardless of what your ultimate goal is, losing 100 pounds has made a HUGE difference in your health. I bet there are lots of things you can do now that you couldn't before. You also look awesome. What a difference between your before and after!! having lost a great deal of weight before I can tell you no one really noticed for the whole first stretch. When I lost enough that i needed to buy new clothes people seemed to notice. I also noticed there was a certain weight when suddenly EVERYONE noticed. Keep it up you are inspiring and you should feel duly proud of yourself.

    Oh hon!!! You hit an awesome goal!!!! You have proved that you can do this! Sure there's still more work to do..but we all have something to improve on at any weight whether its a physical or mental attribute! Be proud of yourself!

    I can't believe nobody has realized your loss! I'd be waving some pics under peoples noses if they give me a hard time about anything..and say look I've already accomplished something major that you have no right to say a thing! WTG girl!!!!! :)

    Let us know on this forum when the dress comes and if you feel comfortable post another photo in it when the time is right! Also for a moment you should contemplate: even if you didn't lose a single pound further, and merely maintained this loss, what an accomplishment just by itself is and what a difference it makes.
