I posted yesterday about losing 50lbs, but didn't upload any photos. I hope I did it right. My before picture is extremely embarrassing. I was in target with a friend last summer and we were joking around putting on the most ridiculous bikinis over our clothes and laughing because we were the fat girls in bikinis. The second picture I took today when trying on new sizes at Old Navy. I still have a ways to go, but after seeing these two side by side, I felt so much better at where I'm at today.

I found another before picture that is hopefully larger than the first one...it's embarrassing as well.

    I started eating a vegan diet in January and lost most of the weight from that alone and exercise, but then I hit a horrible plateau and looked at what I was eating and saw I was eating between 200-300 carbs a day, so I lowered that to 95-110 a day and the weight has been sliding off now. Try adjusting something in your routine or your diet or even both. It could be that you don't get enough water, or you're getting too much sodium, or fat, or carbs. You just have to switch things up and see what works for you.

    LorinaLynn you just made my day! I've been sitting here for a few minutes waiting for someone to say something (I'm so lame lol) and that just made me SO happy. Thank you!

    I just have to say while looking at my new after picture, I just noticed my fingers and I can't get over them. I'm not used to feeling so good about myself and I know it's weird to look at my own fingers and think, "dang! they look good" but I do think that!

    You are looking fantastic! You must be at least halfway to your goal now? Feels so good to be able to fit into smaller clothes :)

    Thank you all!

    Unfortunately, I'm not half way yet. I started out at 277lbs, and I'm down to 227lbs, and my ultimate goal is 145lbs. But as I get closer, I may have to adjust my end goal. Maybe 160 would be better for me. I'll just have to wait and see how my body is doing.
