Wish I had some after pics but am still at the starting line myself.

This is me this time last year, I was bigger in December but don't have a pic of that time.

This is me the other day, I started lchf in March around 176 lbs I'm now 151

Wow, @auntstephie321, you look great! What sizes we're you wearing in each photo, if you don't mind my asking? Or how many pounds had you lost between the photos?

I'll get some preliminary before/after pics up soon. I'm fairly new at this, but I've lost almost 30 lbs now. (Yay!!!)

@mlinton_mesapark that dress didn't have a size lol but I was squeezing into a size 12 back then. The new pic is a size six, they are stretchy and tight but not bad. I don't know what I weighed in the old photo probably 175 - 180. Now I'm 151 - 153 still trying to lose some more but slowed down as I'm trying to strengthen now too.

Here is a collage of my five year transition. Highest weight was 318 pounds and lowest is 194.4, so far. Want to lose 30 more, and will!
(Excuse the picture of the dog if it shows up! I'm so tech challenged, lol!)

Some great before and after shots for sure. I wish I had thought to do beginning photos. My black and white photo under my profile was taken about 10 years ago and I would have been around 250. I started my beard 3 days before 2015 New Years so people could not see my fat jaws melt then say I was looking too skinny. My current mug shot is maybe a month old and I was near 200 at the time. A shock to me at 64 was how my jaw skin tighten up in time.

When I started eating in a way to cut my physical pain levels seriously Oct 2014 I did not think I would ever be this slim again in my life. Where the fat has left and the way it left does make me look lighter than I really am. Losing inches but the scales not moving was a new (and NICE) experience for me.

All I can say it cutting out most all carbs and adding a lot of fat has changed my life for the better and I think those of you who are new will not recognize yourselves by New Years. It is not about "losing" weight I finally figured out at 63 but it is all about feeding your body 'right'. I have been eating at around 2500 calories for the last 9 months. I do walk a 1/4 mile daily but do hobby with the tractor and backhoe around the place and at the church .5 miles away.

While my physical limitations from arthritis are limiting I keep moving. An old man long ago told me they do not bury people that still wiggle so every day I make sure I wiggle some.

Definitely need to update. In the last couple months my body comp has changed even more.

Amazing transformations, Everyone! Thanks for sharing.

You have done an awesome job KnitOrMiss!

Very impressive !

Thanks. Since I lost the bulk of this a little while back, and about 20-30 in the last 2-3 years, I have to sometimes pull out these pics and remember that I really have come further than it seems when I get caught up in the current bit.

Wow. I am so impressed. And encouraged.
@karlottap, @AngInCanada , @thetemplateblog, @KnitorMiss, @auntstephie123!!

Thank you.

Ditto this!

and @Sunny_Bunny_ , you've tightened up more than the loss I pounds would predict, I think.

Love this thread!

@Sunny_Bunny_ , great job!!

I originally went from 183 to 138 and then decided to "go on a bulk" because I felt I looked too scrawny. That was a disaster - I gained 20 lbs when I had only intended to gain 10. Anyway, here I am at 183 and 155. Size 16 and size 6.

Thank you for saying that! I think it's hard to see on ourselves. I felt like I could barely see a difference.

@Sunny_Bunny_ I know what you mean it's so hard to see it for yourself. I can see a huge difference on you already.
