I started my weight loss journey at 223.6lbs in the end of August. I decided that I just couldn't let myself go anymore. I joined Herbal Magic (Canadian weight loss company) and so far have lost just under 30lbs. I didn't see the progress myself, until I took my most recent progress pictures.

I still have 55ish lbs to lose, and it has been a hard road so far, but totally worth it!

    You should regularly (monthly) take pics of yourself to track progress...that's the only way I was able to tell a difference...I've kept a diary of pictures so I can look back and see where I've come from...it is quite a journey. You look really good and can TOTALLY tell you've lost weight and toned up too! Congrats!

    I have taken monthly pictures, but I didn't really see the difference until this months picture. Everyone else said they saw a difference after the first 10 lbs though.

    I never took those raw photo's in the begining because I was disgusted with my big belly. Looking back I should have. Maybe I just wasn't confident, that the weight would ever come off. You look awesome. Keep it up.

    Awesome job! I love looking at progress pics. I didn't take any 'official' before pictures. I just have a few from my last trip that made me go "oh shoot, something needs to change NOW". I am going to take some "6 week in, 13 lbs lost pictures today" though lol

    I try to go to the gym at least 1 or 2 times a week, I do cardio and tread water in the pool for an hour. When I cannot get to the gym, I climb my stairs at home. 13 stairsX153 times=2000 stairs. Amazing workout!!!

    You look amazing! Feels awesome huh? I started in April of this year and just did it...didn't say I'll start next week or next month... I'm really sort of surprised at myself and super proud! I've lost 72 pounds and would like to lose about 30 or so more. I never took pics when I started, because it sort of just happened, wasn't so planned. But I do have pics and I can see the differences in them and in my shape and having donated about 4 yard garbage bags of clothes! Keep up the good work! I read on a friends' post yesterday, the taste of (whatever) isn't nearly as good as the feeling of your accomplishment! SUCH a true statement!
