Hope this works!
I get nervous sharing these, but I know I always love hearing and seeing everyone else's stories and pictures, they encourage me so much! So, I thought I'd do the same.

It has been about a year since I decided I wanted to lose weight and simply be a healthier me. Since then I have lost about 75 lbs and would like to lose around 20-25 more. I started around 250 lbs (the first pic is probably around 230). Both are bridesmaids dresses, one from last August and one for this May.
Sometimes I feel like I don't necessarily feel or see a difference, but when I saw these and other pictures I definitely see it...and it's crazy to me!
Anyway, just thought I'd share!
It's a crazy journey, but a great one!
So never give up!

    Lookin good! I love how you did the same poses. It really helps in telling the difference for yourself (at least for me it does). We can be our own worst critic :)
