edited September 26 in Success Stories
So, I was having a hard time today. The scale wasn't moving as fast as I wanted it to, and I started to get discouraged. I started looking at some old pictures and came across some that made me realize just how far I've come. I started this journey in August of 2008 at 325 pounds. I had dropped a lot and then stopped trying...I didn't try for over a year and a half. In late January I started up again, and I just hit my 100 pounds lost milestone. It's not until I see these before pics that I realize just how far I've come. I still have a long road ahead of me, but my life is worth it!

    I think the IMG needs to be img both in the beginning and at the end - let's try this

    Fantastic!

    I wonder if I'll ever get to put photos like that up - I get to 60lbs and then hit a plateau so stop and then regain it all and more then I have to start again.

    Pictures like yours really motivate me - keep up the brilliant work!

    Nothing like a before and after photo to keep us on track. Way to go. You look simply amazing and a heck of a lot younger. Kuddos to you.

    Great job! It's so encouraging to know it can be done.

    Thanks! I have been there too! I had hit 75 pounds marker, plateaued, and when I started again I had gained 15 or so pounds back. This is a hard road. If anyone ever said losing weight is easy, they obviously haven't tried! And thanks everyone for the kudos and the encouragement. Today WILL be a better day! :smile:
