39 pounds lost (pics)

PrincessMorticia · February 2012

I was once 285lbs. I had lost 80lbs, but gained some back, and I'm now 246, working on getting below the 200 mark. I have been looking through everyone's before/after photos and decided that I should search for a "Before" photo of me at my heaviest. WOW! About 40lbs difference is more than I realized. I was so much bigger! I can't wait to lose more and add to the collection on this journey!

I'm not sure why the second one is so small, lol. I'm not as geeky as I'd like to be.

You're looking great! Not as Geeky as you want to be? Hmmm... I fear (in a good way lol) I'm going to nerd out once I lose all my weight because I will be able to cosplay with confidence XD :x I wanna goes as my Star Wards: The Old Republic toon one year at a convention...just need to lose a little weight to fit the outfit I have for her :P

Thanks! I'm really hoping to lose more and have that accomplishment under my belt. I had gotten down to 202 but I have gained so much back. This was me at 202 about exactly a year ago and I was really happy at that weight! Just goes to show that sticking to it is WORTH IT!!!

(never mind my crazy hair and nails, lol)

Wow! What an amazing difference! And then that 202 is motivation to get back there! I never would have guessed that was how much you weighed from the picture.

Keep up the hard work!

You look amazing! Great work. And can I just say, I'm totally jealous of your lack of double chin. I swear I have multiple chins at any weight over 150 :grumble:

You look great. Keep it up. You can absolutely reach your goal. In my case I started at 247 on November 5, 2011 and hit 203 today (down 44lbs). I still have a way to go and I'm looking forward to breaking through that 200 mark. MFP and everyone on here has been the best motivation. Wishing you lots of success. Have a great weekend!
