This is my first time trying to post a photo so bear with me. In September I made a commitment to myself to stop using my size as an excuse to my lack of a life. So I stopped eating crappy foods (for the most part), started walking a lot, and over the last 8 months and a few days, I have managed to drop 53 lbs, a fiance that made me stressed and miserable, and 3 pants sizes.

In the process, I've gained confidence, happiness, self-control, and a life. I've started traveling again and being an active participant in the world. It feels amazing to feel like myself again. I have before pics in both my face and my full body, but I haven't taken any progress photos of my body in awhile and don't have the time tonight, but there is such a difference in just my face so I thought I'd share these photos. I still have about 75 more to lose.

To all of you struggling to get there, not every day is going to perfect, but as long as you keep trying, you will get there. Have a little faith in yourself. :smile:

    Wow huge difference! I too have a lot of weight to loose, and day by day it can be frustrating. I am trying not to stress it, and just go along with the flow because I know it will take time. Your story is an inspiration and you should be proud of yourself!

    I had someone pull up beside me, car to car, and they said you've lost a lot of weight! Even though I thought all my weight was in my gut. That was when I realized I carried weight all over. You're doing great and doesn't it feel great!

    I said to my husband: Doesn't she look great?!
    Him: Oh, ya! Wow!
    Me: Check it out. Those are the same glasses.
    Him: No they're not.
    Me: Yes. Look closer.
    Him: Wow!! THAT is AMAZING!! They look bigger on the right!

    You look fantastic, no doubt about it. Two thumbs up!
