Sometimes it's hard for us to realize just how much progress we've made. Afterall... we see ourselves everyday, and while we know we are making progress, sometimes it takes a reality check like this to help us shed the image that some of us have lived with for so long.

The December 12th picture is my husband's 50th birthday - I was 44. The May picture is Mother's Day with my boys - I am 11 days away from my 47th birthday.

    you all did fantastic, it's very inspiring to see all these pics. Like one person said you see yourself every day and sometimes it just feels like your not making any progress but look at the pics!

    When this site comes around and allows simple copy/pase pictures i'll be all over it, but as it is now it just looks like a pain in the *kitten*.

    I went from tight 38 pants and xl tees to loose 32s and size M shirts! And I have abs! (the bottom 2 abs will never be visible unless I have a tummy tuck)
    You look awesome, but I'm pretty sure you know that already.



    As for me? Well, I used to weigh nearly 300 pounds:

    And now I look like this:

    I have a 26" waist, down from 45.5"
    I'm 5'10" btw

    Now I'm 149 and pretty happy with how I look. Lifting heavy has helped transform my body the most.
