Pics that motivate me to keep going- post yours

Options
What is the heaviest you have been? The heaviest for me was about 280. I am now in the low 180s aiming for low 150s. Below is a couple of pics I found, not at my heaviest but close enough. I was 18 or 19 in the first two pics, not sure exactly what weight. I got to about 280 when I was nearly 22 and after a messy break up I got my act together.

I look at these when I feel low and realise how far I have come because sometimes I still feel at my heaviest. I have to keep remembering at my heaviest I could barely walk up stairs and now I can swim for an hour, then cycle and mor,e even with the asthma I later developed. The last one is me now. Excuse the creepy look and the pose, I was on holiday and my partner
caught me out. lol

    I found the dress in a charity shop. I get most of my clothes from places like that. You are about 90% right in my case. haha x

    Don't tempt me. I honestly just look at someone and want to dress them. I used to get really angry at people who have amzing bodies but moaned about not being able to find clothes. As if. I could have dressed them for 10 pounds in something amazing.

    You look awesome! My highest recorded weight is 220, but I know that I probably started out more around 230, because I had lost a little bit before I weighed myself for the first time.

    My inspiring picture is currently my profile picture, because I needed the extra motivation and to look at this picture as much as possible!

    Wow! What an amazing transformation! Good for you!! :-)

    I'd say my profile pic is what I look at lately to keep me going!! I didn't believe in myself when I 1st started. Had lil faith but now I have pride and I know I can do this!

    Best of luck to you <3
