hahahahhaahah ok first of all I sort of 'hate' my self for posting something like this and NO, I'm not looking for complements like some people get accuse when posting stuff like this.

That being said, do you guys see not just a 'difference' cause heck I can obviously see it but a 84 lbs DIFFERENCE?
I tend to update with a before and after my profile picture just to remind me that I'm doing good and that there is a difference but I swear many many times a day I keep staring to see the BIG difference, cause 84 lbs are after all 84 effing pounds B)

And I see post like this everydayyyyy with people oh I've lost 30, 40, 50 lbs and I see this huge amazing difference in others but with me is like mehhhhh I see it but not that much of a deal.

so it must that maybe my mind haven't got used to my weight loss right or something like that?

anyway here are the pics, I hope they post correctly.

    Absolutely. Now is when your loss will seem more dramatic since you are smaller. I swear my first 80 I felt like was only 20 when I looked in the mirror but the last 30 have been so dramtic every couple pounds. Keep up the great job! You look amazing!

    ok, you soooo understand me! that's exactly how I'm feeling, and that's exactly my hope that once I enter onederland my weight loss is going to be more dramatic (sorry, can't help it) :#

    I see quite a difference! Your first pic has you more covered up because of the jacket. I can certainly see the change but I bet that the jacket covering up your old waist line is part of what makes it hard for you to see it. Good work!

    yes that could be it, I usually use that before picture cause that's the one that i 'cough cough' look like a gorgeous whale :D but since it's not a full frontal, that could be hiding a bit my improvement. thanks for the input.

    Yep. Total difference. Mainly in that you are now wearing clothes that fit....because you no longer are trying to hide your body. The definition around your stomach is definitely there in your 2nd pic....and your legs are rocking some great curves.

    Those pics show the evidence of all your hard work. Nice.

    oh Jesus lord yes, I started at 300 lbs (ok 298 but we're not going to fight over 2 lbs) and the joy of finding clothes and actually variety of clothes it doesn't compare to anything. thank you on everything else!

    We are our own worst critics.

    I can see a drastic change in your pictures, but you don't.

    I'm the same way with my own self.

    Don't delete your post, come back amd look at the positive encouragement when you feel down.

    I see a huuuuge difference! You look like a different person altogether. I have lost about the same amount of weight and know I look drastically different, you do too.

    You have a fantastic body shape also :-)

    You are absolutely right, we tend to be too critical with our self , and it's soooo easy to diminish our results but it's OK and good for our souls to stop and give our self a high five. Thanks for your comment :)

    Most definitely! Awesome job. I know how you feel though. I am doing this for the second and hopefully last time. I don't see that much difference either whether I'm losing or gaining I feel I look close to the same when I look in the mirror. Pictures though make it more obvious for me.

    yess I try to be not so critical as I tend to normally be with my self, it takes a lot of willpower when you start so big like I did to shut those negatives thoughts and keep going, thanks for your encouragement. psss love your profile picture, it makes me smile! :blush:
