So as you may see from the photo, I've come a long way.. I still have more inches to lose and looking forward to losing 15 lbs. I'm only 5' tall and I'm currently laying right on the broder of my "good" BMI..

People please take pictures.. It's the only way you will notice your weight lost.. If I wouldn't have taken these photo, I would not have noticed the weight lost and all my improvement... I now see that even though, I have not lost any additional weight in a pretty long time.. I am toning down.. So my overall workout and healthy eating is still working.. Just not showing on the scale..

    You are absolutely right!!! I need to start taking pics, but because I tend to shy away from "full body" shots, I haven't been able to totally wrap my brain around the changes in my body. Thanks for sharing, you look AWESOME!!!

    Wow you look AMAZING!!! I started out right where you were. I am 5'ft also.. We have no room for excess weight:huh: I did take some starting pictures. Since I am doing a reset I have gained some weight. It is a little hard to wrap my head around that I have to gain weight first in order to loose weight:grumble: .. I have a couple of weeks left and I am going to do my first cut. I hope to look as good as you do in a year!

    Thanks for sharing this! Very good advice. I just 're-joined' MFP and I was debating about pictures, because last time I did it it was pretty rough. I had such a hard time looking at my body and was appalled at how much it had changed that I was completely discouraged and didn't last another 2 weeks on my 'new healthy lifestyle." I'll give it another go... at least this time, looking at pictures of myself in my underwear won't be so much of a shocker, since I've finally come to terms with my weight gain and am seriously ready to lose it this time!!
