As someone with many pounds to lose I didn't think 12lbs would make me look any different. And when I took photos today I didn't notice much from the front or back. But my side photo! I have to share. Hopefully it will encourage some of you out there to just keep going! I need a new bra, this one got too big and now doesn't really support LOL but I had to show in the same clothes.

I am 5' 7.5"

Edit: I thought I resized the photo... let me try again...

    You look really good! Congrats on the 12 pound weight loss. I would have guessed that you weighed more 170ish.

    Thanks! A lot of people don't believe me when I tell them my weight. But I sure feel it when I am trying to run LOL I have quite a while before I reach Onderland

    I have been lifting a lot of weights so I think that may contribute to me looking smaller but still weighing heavier

    Thanks everyone! I love looking at other before/during/after photos so I had to share mine. I can't wait for another two months to go by and I can show again :)

    When I was editing this photo I really thought I stretched it too much and made me look skinnier! I had to redo it a few times until I realized that I was that much smaller :)

    I can't see the second pic! But.....I started at 234 and am now down to 218. I wish I had taken a starting photo cuz when I look in the mirror I dont see a huge difference but my clothes are WAY looser! Great job! I am also 5'7 and have a goal weight of 160!

    It was resized before. I don't know what happened :/

    Does anyone know why it keeps showing up like that? I saved the resized version in photobucket...
