I've only lost 8 lbs so far since I joined MFP about 2 weeks ago. I started at 216 lbs and at my current 208 so I know that there is still a long road ahead of me. Already I've had a few days where I've felt very discouraged with my progress. But today I found an old camera of mine from 2007-08 and I saw something I hadn't seen in a very long time (and honestly hoped I would never see again)... pictures of me at my heaviest weight, 235 lbs. I cried when I saw these because I remembered how depressed and miserable I was at the time. And now here I am: almost 30 lbs lighter and about 30x happier than I ever was before. I know these "before" pics are from before I joined MFP but I thought I'd share my progress with you guys anyway. I hope these can serve as some encouragement to all of you who still have a long way to go.

You can definitely see it!! Looking good! I am so glad you shared!.
I am about where you were (235) but I USED to be about 290 after my son! I have been smaller then I am now, so I know I can get there again, but sometimes you forget how far you have already come from where you started.
Looking at old pictures reminds you that "YES YOU CAN DO IT!" You've already come this far, just got to keep going.0 -
