The Ultimate Pic Thread (Only Pictures)

I have just reviewed 80+ pages of personal transformations, and they are all inspiring and totally amazing to see. But here is what really impresses me the most: Unless I am mistaken, MFP has helped all these people do it the simple way (not the easy way, the simple way) - no diet, no pills, few if any surgeries, no contraptions or "as seen on TV"s. Just sensible nutrition (or mindful eating) and exercise. They all did it without shelling out money for products made by companies selling a dream of easy fitness which is a lie. The truth is they fought hard. Infact it was the fight of their lives and they are still fighting every day on out to the finish line.

This is what all these photos inspired me to understand about what I have to do and am doing to be one of them. Thanks everyone.

:drinker: :happy: Great words to add to a truly inspirational ongoing thread....thanks for saying what so many of us also feel!

I finally made a collage! Before- 156 lbs, After-136 lbs.

YOU Honey, look beautiful! You've got style and great taste (love the purples!), look very healthy and have really made some wonderful changes toning up. As so many others have shared there is NO need for ANY type of negative comments toward another's b/a shots on an inspiration thread. If someone feels the need to say something to a poster it can be taken off the main boards, BUT even that should be carefully weighed as to the possible damage to self esteem. One should NEVER EVER assume someone has a problem unless more is known. We know one another from the internet a very public place in which we only know one another by photos & typed words, pretty difficult to make assumptions that may not even be close to reality with those 2 as our base.

Love all the inspiration on this topic of ongoing threads "The Ultimate Pic Thread"... what a great pick me up anytime of the day!!:bigsmile:

YAY for positive ppl, they rock this world!!!:smooched: :drinker:

Started this weight loss thing on April 4, 2011, joined MFP April 26, 2011, but didn't take a real "before" picture until May 2, 2011. I finished up doing Insanity today, so here's a before and after of 11 months, 5 days, 50 lbs lost. I'm 5'9" and 44 years old.
