Hi everyone! I'm Alyx and I've lost about 90 pounds (50 with MFP). Most days I still, in my head and heart, think I look like my "before" picture still. I still have about 50 pounds to go, so if anyone has advice for improving my view of myself, I would love to hear it! Also, feel free to add me. I'm more than happy to give any advice or be a support system for anyone! <3

    Great job! We are in pretty much the same boat. I've lost nearly 90 and have about 50 more myself. :) I wish you luck in reaching your goal.

    Wonderful Job!! I think feeling that way for a bit is typical, it takes us time to adjust to the new us :) As someone above shared keep looking at photos, old and new side by side. If it takes sitting and staring awhile even, whatever it takes to start to see the changes. Maybe even taking note on paper what we see different. Sometimes writing helps me really solidify it in my own head. :)

    Sometimes I wonder if that's not why some of us put weight back on because we don't see the success within ourselves. Healthy changes come from the inside out. ;)

    Wow!! You should be so proud of yourself. You look great. I agree with others who have said to look in the mirror more often or better yet, post pictures of yourself before and after where you'll see it. Being overweight affects us psychologically as well as physically. Many of us need help seeing ourselves differently once we lose the weight. Once you build up your confidence some, I hope that helps you see yourself as a beautiful young woman. Don't let anyone tell you or treat you any differently. You got this!!!
