What 35 lbs looks like on me!!

I've been at a plateau for a while now, but recently have been seeing some downward movement on the scale (ever so slightly...). I am still frustrated, though, and thought going back through my progress pictures would give me a little boost.

I have been trying to take progress pics every month, but I somehow missed May & July.

To anyone who is uncomfortable taking progress pics, or is just not bothering to take them, START! Looking back over these pictures when your loss stalls or you get frustrated with how slow it's going is enormously encouraging!!

I shrank these to 50%, hopefully they are a good size!

January 2011, 203.8 lbs:

June:

Beginning of August:

Now, in my size 10 jeans, 168.6 lbs!

***Please excuse my exceptionally dirty mirror in some of these pictures... I'm really bad about remembering to clean that. LOL

    wow! you look amazing. Great job! I hate pics of me! I have them but I'm not ready to show the world just yet. I've lost 16 pounds so far. People say they can see it in my arms and face.... I want to see it in my belly! Thanks for posting these. I will start a file of progress pics just for me. When I'm ready to show them... MFP will be the place.

    Absolutely!! Take them! You don't have to show them until you're ready to show them! I'm so glad someone told me to start taking them right away, they help so much.

    And, yes, my smile did get bigger at the end. LOL

    Thank you, everyone!
