in Success Stories
I have been searching the forums looking for some before and after pics to keep me motivated, but they all seem to be so scattered throughout the forums. I decided we were in need of a proper "before and after pictures" thread.
I would like to keep this thread strictly for photos (and some info to go along with the photos), so please refrain from commenting and discussing, or even stating whether or not this thread was helpful to you. I understand your want to comment, but I would like to keep tis thread as "neat" as possible.
Anyway, I personally don't have any before and after pics, as I have just started my journey, but I'll create an example, just so you guys know what kind of information to include, and so we can keep every post looking similar with enough info.

John Doe
Age 46
5ft 10in
Starting Weight: 256lbs
Current Weight: 185lbs
[Goal Weight: 185lbs]
Time to lose weight: 8 months


Insert before pic here... Insert after pic here (or below)...



My Story: (You don't have to follow this, it's just to give you an idea of what to write). I have been overweight since.... I wanted to lose weight because...... My inspirations are..... Now I can...... This journey was difficult because..... Some of my obstacles included..... Myfitnesspal was helpful because.... The people who helped me on my journey include...... Now I am the healthy, happy human being that has always been hiding inside of me! Thanks so much MFP, and good luck to you all!




I hope that lots of the courageous, hardworking people who have lost weight using myfitnesspal will post their pictures and their stories to help motivate us all to follow in their footsteps! I have taken some before pics, and hopefully I will be able to post my before and after pictures on this thread soon!

    Sorry, Im not trying to be bossy, I have OCD, and it really bothers me when people try to set up threads like this and they just end up in a bunch of people just saying bump or whatever for pages and pages, and the actual point of the thread is lost and people looking at it in order to see the photos can't find them. I have searched many times for threads of before and after pictures,but I can never find more than a few pictures per thread because all the pages are taken up by comments and such. Again, I apologize if I sound controlling, I just wanted this thread to work out well. Im sorry, my anxiety has really been getting the better of me lately.

    I completely get what you are trying to do, it would be nice to have one thread where are there was was before and after pics and stats. Don't know whats going on with MFP lately, but there is a lot of snarkiness, seems like as soon as a thread gets posted everyone jumps on to see how to be rude

    Let's not hijack this young ladies thread. I have not issued warnings, but have deleted the offensive posts.

    We ARE here to encourage each other. If you do not want to post B&A here, then do not.

    4) Do not attack/slam/insult other users. The forums are here so that members can help support one another. Attacks or insults against each other takes away from the supportive atmosphere and will not be tolerated. You can discuss the message or topic, but not the messenger - NO EXCEPTIONS. If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, YOU will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself, defending a friend, etc. are NOT excuses. Violations of this rule are taken very seriously and may result in being banned without warning! If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

    11) If you have concerns about another poster or wish to report a rule violation, the ONLY appropriate venue is to use the Report Post feature or to message me. You may NOT air such concerns on the message boards themselves. If you have a general concern that does not involve a specific member, you may post your question in a civil manner in the "Feedback" or "Help" forums

    I am not even close to through with my weight loss, but Im finally actually seeing progress, so I figured I could finally post some before and during pictures! I couldn't figure out how to post pics, but Ill give you a link, or just check out my profile!

    5ft 3in
    Starting Weight: 130lbs
    Current Weight: 127lbs lbs (might not be exactly accurate)
    Goal Weight: 110 (I was hoping for 110, but Im starting to think that with all the muscle I gain, I might actually be at my goal at closer to 120)
    Time taken so far: 4 weeks


    My pictures can be found here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/photos/view/5445108 or just on my profile

    The shot taken from the side (profile) seems to be a bit deceiving, but at least I look good!


    Ill be sure to keep posting more pics, and I will definitely include my story with my true after picture.
