    I simply cannot get over the fact that most of us look like our own sons and daughters from then to now!!!! It is crazy how much younger and healthier we all look!

    @KnitOrMiss You're right and many of your reasons are my reasons. My sister is the pretty one, and she's never let me forget it in 45 years, and I'm the smart one. Pictures are just a reminder of my sister being a jerk. But I hate the thought that there won't be many pics when I'm gone, at least nothing where I'm not acting the fool! Yep, that's pretty selfish.

    I really like putting faces to names, but I haven't done that for you guys and that kinda makes me a tool. So...

    Although I'm not getting rid of Abby (my coffee cup) as an avatar. Not for a while. Baby steps!

    Wow! You've come a long way. You look really good. Reverse aging....

    These are so wonderful--not only because of the progress we all have made but also because it's nice to put faces to names and avatars. You are all beautiful people--were before and are now! <3

    I've also been stunned at how different people look. Even people still journeying to their goal. Holy cow people! There are some total transformations. I also see some great attitude changes and people rocking a whole new look. Way to go guys!

    There are so many great transformations already and yet many of us haven't even reached our goal yet! That just means we get to share another transformation in the months ahead! I can't wait to see how we all continue to progress!

    I can do face shots (I'm not ready for body shots).

    I have two pics before, they are when I weighed 320 to 330. About 4 years ago. I'm down about 110 to 120 lbs since then. (I absolutely hate these two pics and it now makes me ill to look at them).

    I took this pic a few minutes ago (the flash kinda washes out my skin color AND I see I have some loose skin under my chin, oh well...):

    @DittoDan

    You have really transformed yourself.

    I would not recognize you if I saw you on the street by the before pic!

    Great job man!

    @KittensMaster I'm really good at seeing faces, but I absolutely can't see you in the before picture at all!



    All these beautiful faces full of happiness and health! Guess this means I need to find some face pics. I've studiously avoided being in photos for years. I'm quite good at hiding! A "halfway there" pic right now could be great for comparison later!

    I've been racking my brain for a before picture.
    The only picture I can think of is when I joined the gym.
    I wonder if they would give it to me.

    Way to go @KittensMaster, @JBarnes1210, @DittoDan, @KaseyDH83 and @2Poufs! Striking transformations--you all look significantly younger, healthier, leaner now.

    Keep 'em coming!

    I need to dig up a good "before" and take a good "after".

    what was the success of your transformation? who/what inspired you? what kept you going? it will be nice to hear your stories as well!

    Imgur and Reddit. I discovered Keto through these websites, studied and researched all the information and decided to try it out.

    What kept me going was how good I feel. No more sore knees, no more 24/7 heartburn and indigestion, I sleep at nights, I can now lie on my back without feeling like I'll suffocate, I can walk up the hill to the house and my husband is reaping some benefits as well. ;)

    Ah-ha! I finally found that Before pic. Granted, this was only about a month postpartum, so I might have been carrying extra water weight leftover from pregnancy.

    and here's a recent After:

    Thanks @nvmomketo!

    I forgot to mention, the guys with me in the top photo are all my brothers. And in the bottom photo, of course, my kids. :-)

  • Amazing job, everyone!!! I cannot believe the stark transformations from the before and after pictures.
