Same Shirt, Different Person

I made this as a blog post but decided what the heck why not make it a thread, too :smile:

I put on this shirt yesterday and it made me realize how far I really have come. It's the shirt I'm wearing in one of my "before" pictures that I use - one of the pictures which made me realize that I needed to do something NOW. I hate this picture, even though it was taken on an awesome day when an old friend visited me in Rome. She's cut out of this version of it so that you can see me in all my large glory.

So, I figured out how to do self-timer pictures on my camera today, put the shirt back on, and am showing you the difference. Hopefully you can see what I see: someone in transition, but who is making big strides toward her goal of losing 100 + pounds :)

Sidenote: please don't mind my bad hair day. I had put it up after taking a shower... it's picky. Sorry about the lighting, too, heh :indifferent:

    Wow, That is great! Keep up the good work. I shoud take some photos in old clothes. (ones I have pictures in before.)
    That is a great Idea. I am going to just punch new holes in my current belt and keep it until I hit my goal weight. I have punched 5 new holes so far. That's one for every ten pounds! I love how that shirt fits you now! You are going to need a new wardrobe soon!
