Like so many of you, I shied away from the camera, so recent full body shots were nearly impossible to find. So I submit the "Chunks of my Gut" Before and During pics!

Christmas 2010. About a month and a half before I started MFP, probably 280#, standing next to my 135# sister, looking like I'm going to snack on her head.

This morning. 233#. About 5 months and 50# into this whole adventure, and about at my halfway point! 2 pants sizes and 2 shirt sizes!

    Well done! No one is as harsh a critic as we are of ourselves. You've done marvelous so far, and you should have no problems taking your picture now. Just think of how good you feel when you don't recognize today's picture

    WOW, WHAT AN AMAZING TRANSFORMATION!!! You inspire me!!! I've lost 43 pounds thus far, since Jan. 2011. I, too, am noticing the results! And I, too, have about another 50 or so pounds to go - I'm currently at 234lbs. It sounds like we're on the same path! Keep up the fantastic work, you're looking wonderful!

    Honest to god, and no one in the "real world" believes me, I just have worked the process. I'm set on 2 lbs/week, but because I had so much to lose up front, I think I lost 14 the first month, which has helped balance out the last month or so that hasn't been so awesome. I exercise at least 3-4 times a week, sometimes 6-7, but 30DS, Zumba, walking, c25k, rowing, biking, whatev ... I get bored SUPER easily so I've been mixing it up.

    I've been one of those people who eats whatever I want (for the most part) as long as it's in my calories for the day. I've also been toying with low GI foods this week and I think it's helped! (plus ... TOM is over, I've been c25k-ing or Zumbaing every night for the last week and drinking enough water to float away most days)

    Also, I'm 5'10, which helps A LOT :)

    OMG! Fantastic! For starters, you look great at 283. Some people think of 283 and automatically think really bad things.
    Ya know, everyone is built different but I know when I was 283 (my highest in 2009) I was heavy but curves did me well.
    You don't EVEN look like your current weight.

    You've totally inspired me today....to keep plugging away....
