Before & After Photos - 110 pounds down

All my life I was overweight. Looking at pictures, from the time I was 3 years old I was heavy.
I was a giver. I gave of myself to others thinking I was doing the right thing, but I was letting my own health fall to the wayside.
I would go on diets, often losing 40-50 lbs, but eventually I would get frustrated and quit and then the pounds came back. And when they came back, they always brought friends.
Finally I hit a rock bottom moment when my stomach was touching the steering wheel when I was driving one day. Something had to change. I started therapy with a therapist who understood my food issues. I started to put myself first. I turned to God for help.
These days I'm maintaining a 110 pound weight loss and have been for 15 years.

Congratulations! Losing 110 pounds starting at 250 pounds means you lost 44% of your starting weight! That's encouraging to me, since I too want to lose nearly 110 pounds. I started at 329 pounds and my goal is 220 pounds.
So losing 109 pounds would be about 33% of my starting weight. If you can do it, maybe I can too.1 -
