I know I'm always the last one to see it or notice it but my sister tagged me in a photo on FB and my initial reaction, "oh my god, I'm fat". And then I realized that I had been working on it so I took a pic (just now) and posted it beside the other.

OMG !!! - I was so excited.

I get REALLY frustrated that I've only lost 20 pounds but when 20 pounds look this good I can only imagine what 220 will look like.

The first photo was taken Aug 3rd and the other about 5 minutes ago.

PS - It may be a little premature but I am so glad that I finally have a before and after photo that I think is worth sharing. At least for me. I really am just so excited. I'm going to print it and post it on the mirror as a reminder.

and I'm a little nervous, this is my first picture post and I've seen so many have difficulty doing it the first time so bare with me. If it doesn't work I will keep trying. Sorry. and someone suggested using preview and I don't see that option so here goes.

    You look great! I see a big difference! This spring I lost 10 lbs, then lost my motivation lol and put it back on. But recently I was looking at pictures of myself during that period when I was 10 pounds lighter, and I could even see a difference with only 10 pounds. Not a huge difference, but it motivated me to get back with the myfitnesspal program. I think this spring when I lost the ten pounds I didn't realize what a difference it made, and felt discouraged because I felt I had suc a long way to go. Well, now I have lost that same 10 pounds again and am sticking with it! :-)
