I take progress pictures every 10lbs I lose. I have found that it's really motivating for me to see the physical changes. So I hope it motivates everyone who looks at this post.

A little about me: I was 209lbs every since high school. I got pregnant (had complications) & was 270lbs the day I had my son. Went down to 233lbs 10 days after i had him. I joined MFP & the rest has been a struggle.

I'm 5'6". My starting weight (first picture) was at 203lbs. My current weight (second picture) is at 193lbs.
I started MFP March 20th, this year. I stick to a 1,200 calorie diet. The last month I've been doing the 6W6P & 30DS dvds.

***I forgot to say... the most important thing that's got me through this so far, are my friends on here. I could NOT have stuck with it so long if it wasn't for them! =) Thanks girls!

    That is a wonderful change! :) You are doing so awesome. And the before and after pics are definitely one of my biggest motivators (at least until I started seeing my own changes)!

    You look great I wish I have thought about taking pics like that I have to go back to my camera and see. That defintely helps motivate you to keep going. Keep up the good work and congrats.
  • Great job!!
  • YEAHHH!!!! That's awesome! You look great! 10 pounds takes a lot of work, and it's obviously a big difference! I need to find someone to take pictures for me, and then I need to start exercising again lol.. Bummer!

    You can really see a huge difference! I didn't realise 10lbs would look so different as you don't notice it as much when the weight goes on - this has really inspired me to take my own pictures to look for changes. Keep the excellent work up - you're doing fantastic! :P

    Really sorry every, I meant to say 233, not 203. This is a 40lb difference with pictures, not 10lbs.
