So, this photos is nearly a 50 pound loss. I'm about 295-300 in the photo on the left. Around 250 on the right. I still have a lot to go but I am focusing on each day. Buuut, I never thought I was that big. Buuut, after losing weight you realize that you were. 8lbj1vbgqzur.jpg

    Oh, man! I saw a picture of me from last summer wearing a sleeveless shirt that I thought I looked great in. Today I look much better, and can't believe I didn't realize how pudgy I looked before.

    I fully agree. I was 300 pounds for most of college. Lost down to 250 and still felt just as big (though I have never truly felt I was THAT big despite the evidence otherwise). Now I'm back up to 300 and feeling the consequences. Starting this journey fresh at 307.

    That's amazing, you should be so proud. I have hardly any recent photos of me because I can't stand to see how big I've got to be. I suppose it's a good idea though so that I can see the difference as I get smaller. Good job girl

    You're doing great! I know what you mean about not realising, it's a bit of a shock when you see old photos! Congratulations on your hard work, keep going!

    Hating how I looked in photos was part of what spurred me on to start this weight loss journey! Seeing the changes is a great feel-good factor :)

    amazing work! how incredible you must feel about yourself. I had previously lost 30 lbs (271 to 241), still by no means was I thin, but I remember how good I felt physically and most importantly mentally. Unfortunately I am back at 271 =[ and miss where my head use to be at.

    Keep up the good work. definitely will be bad days, but hold on to the good feelings about yourself.

    I occasionally wonder what photo could possibly used of me in an obituary if I die tomorrow. I try to stay behind the camera!

    Every time I think I look good (better) and want to relax the weight loss\ fitness work I take a selfie. The mirrors they do lie to me. The pictures are harsh reality.
