I started my weight loss journey in August and have lost 20lbs so far. I have a longgg way to go (70lbs more), but I was comparing pictures this morning to when I was at my highest weight of 230lbs and was trying to see if there was a difference. I tried finding the most unflattering pictures I could find, which sadly wasn't hard :( lol. Sorry my current pictures are fuzzy, my friend's bedroom lighting isn't the best :/ Anything noticeable that you can see? BRACE YOURSELF, it gets intense.

Starting Weight: 230lbs
Current Weight: 210lbs


Face Pic Before/After (my default picture is current also)

    Your face and calves look quite a bit thinner.

    Yes there is a difference. It is quite noticeable, especially in the face. Next time, wear the same clothes and pose in both before and after pics, ok?

    You look great! What a nice gift to yourself! Keep taking the pictures along the way. If you ever plateau (and I hope you don't) those pictures are great motivation to get you through those nasty plateau weeks.
