Hi, I went from 280lbs. To 240lbs. But I am still trying to lose 120lbs. I can't figure out how to upload photos on here yet but I will. Please if you know how to upload photos won't you share them? Thank you!

    Such a beauty! Speaking from experience: Take a full body picture at least once a month because the brain will seriously play tricks on you when looking in the mirror. I see in pictures what I fail to see in the mirror.

    I second this! Even at nearly 70 pounds down, I still see the old me in the mirror a lot of times (mainly because my overall shape is the same...just smaller), but pictures show a whole different me.

    Congrats on your loss, @120poundstogo, and keep up the great work!

    You are stunning yourself there! Yes I took a picture about 8 months ago in my gym outfit and then now and there is a slight difference. But the most difference is in my face. I can't upload the picture on here because it is on my phone!

    I definitely struggle with seeing my old self too just smaller in the mirror and in pictures!
