I've decided to post my before and pics of where I am now. Hopefully, it will motivate me to keep going on this journey. I have a long way to go, but 22 lbs has got to count for something, right?

I never posted pictures before; not too sure how to do it. Hope this works.


My Before - 7/31/11 - 240 lbs

Today - 10/19/11 - 218 lbs

    Thanks everyone! I don't really see the change yet; maybe I'll see it with a few more lbs.

    Great Job!!! Whatever you do, don't give up. You should see results very soon on how your clothes are fitting. I lost that much and began realizing that I could wear a size smaller. Sure felt great and you will get there too.

    When you aren't feeling like 22 lbs is a lot, put on a backpack with about 22 lbs of stuff in it. Walk around for a few minutes and then take the backpack off. You will probably look at 22 lbs a lot differently.

    You've lost nearly 10% of your body weight... that's an amazing accomplishment! Congrats to you and keep up the great work! :)

    You look amazing! You can definitely see a difference. Your waist is pinched in below your bust now. You can see your natural shape coming through, everything is more streamline, and it looks great! Keep up the good work :]
