@KnitOrMiss I think I'm in the same inflammation-face-boat (or rather, I WAS)::
February 2013, 255lbs and approximately 4 days after deciding to USE the MFP account I'd had for 2 years -
and July 2016, about 2 weeks ago - down 105 lbs (it was more but I've been bouncing around a bit)

It's like you scooped off the fat and found a shape underneath! Get it man!!
Hah, yes there was a human shape buried in there somewhere. It just took me 20 years to get around to finding it.
@Gallowmere1984 - I swear, I think it takes us 20 some odd years to wake and realize that we need to fight for ourselves!!! I know it sure took me too long. I finally started fighting back somewhere between 2007-2011, consistently in the game since 2012. Your results are impressive!!
@Panda_Poptarts - I swear, for women like you and me (I think, personally), the inflammation and such makes us have such drastic differences in the face!!
It really does!! I used to have chronic eczema and chronically flushed cheeks. I was always rather red and blotchy in the face. I can proudly leave the house without foundation now and not think twice! That red and blotchy has transformed into a creamy, smooth complexion, and I couldn't be happier!
I wish I had pictures of me in high school! But, for comparison purposes, here I was at 18:
Ignore the dye job, lol. I think I look younger now!
And here's the red face I sported for years:

Awesome pics @Panda_Poptarts ! You have made such a huge change! Your waist has really shrunk and your hourglass figure is really showing through. You are a true inspiration.
Great job @Abkuroneko . You have done amazing. Fantastic transformation!
Thanks so much! I'm definitely seeing the waist definition. I officially have to take in the waist on every single pair of jeans I own/buy because they gap in the back like crazy LOL.0 -

March of 2013. I got lazy as hell about six months later and quit lifting. I am hoping that when I go back in this summer, that the noob gains will be so kind to me again. Getting to 500+ deadlift within seven months of lifting was a pretty good feeling. I'm not expecting it to be quite that drastic this time though, as I am starting from such a low weight and bodyfat, by comparison to last time.0 -

You looks much healthier now, amazing progress!

@abkuroneko and @emilybeaver great progress!
And all these on just this page. Great successes happening here.0 -
Only 11 pounds down net, but I've gained and lost inches in the right places in the last 7 weeks. I guess that jersey will be the official jersey of my progress.

Ok, I'm not really one for photo sharing, I like my internet anonymity comfort blanket, but you guys rock and if this helps inspire one other person, its worth it. I'm not even half way to my goal weight, but I'm really proud of my success thus far, I couldn't have done it without this group.
SW December 2015: 340
CW: 255, 85 lbs lost
GW: 150
Height: 5'8"

@Gallowmere1984 Wow! You look like you are already lifting!
@Panda_Poptarts Awesome! You look so lovely!
@KnitOrMiss and @Phrick Your improved health REALLY shows in your skin! Nice...
@emilybeaver Holy moly. Your waist is dramatically smaller. Wow!2 -
@Gallowmere1984 Wow! You look like you are already lifting!
Nope. I haven't seen a gym in three years. I lost a lot of lean mass during my most recent cut (195-151), but I still held onto enough that I think it won't take me too terribly long to be happy with the results I'm seeing. Plus, with three years off, I'm detrained as hell, so it'll be noob gains all over again.0 -
@PaleoInScotland WOW! Great job!0

That's my motivator for getting back to it. Noob gains!
@PaleoInScotland Wow!! You look like your own daughter! It's like you lost a good 10 to 20 years.3
