A before and after photo

YOu look so pretty and so great. Well done and many congratulations.I am so glad that you posted the photographs. You look like you are just a teenager. I have only gone 4lbs but am doing the faster aerobics on wii twice plus running for 2mins twice and 8 mins of continous aerobics. That is what I did this morning but will do some yoga andd strength training tonight. Have cut down on portions of food but no starvation diet so I know that I am not doing enough but I am doing something and my family is being very supportive. I mustbe doing soemthing good as I walked up one of the apartment blocks - 3 floors- and was not huffing and puffing so that is encouragement for me

i am in the process of dropping a few pounds myself. i try not to take pictures. and have been really good at only allow a few be taking since 2004. however, i see the difference in how i looked then and how i look now. it's so different. i won't say that i'm embarrased becasue i am not at all. i allowed myself to get heavy and now i am taking takin to right steps to drop the pounds. nothin at all to be embarrased about. and congrats to you girl!!!!

I don't like much getting my photos taken, but on the rare occasion my little sister does take them with my digital camera I am always like wow..then I get depressed and delete the photo most times..cause it is so depressing..my biggest weight no lie was 426 pounds and thankfully I lost alot of that.. and thankfully haven't reached that far again..but it is like having your head buried in the sand for months if not years and a picture is like a wake up call..I have printed one off of me at my biggest weight and put it on my fridge to keep reminding me....which I seriously need to to again..because I am wanting to lose 100 pounds before my birthday. I am at the point where I am so tired of being overweight but don't seem to have the coaching or will power to get me to actually stay on one for long enough. With this cold weather hampering me from being able to walk out since I can rarely get down my hill most times. And my hubby not working and I don't and can't exercise in front of him since he can he remarkably rude at times. I also have a back problem right now a pinched nerve and a disk about ready to slip or so it feels for the last week I been barely able to get up and move around and that is from slipping when I went to the store..me and cold weather just don't mix well..lol I haven't posted any pictures of me but of ones after I lost 75-100 pounds and those are usually from midways and up..which my most problem area is from midway and down..maybe I should check to see if they have a weight loss group at facebook since I am a member there now..maybe that would help having others to talk to and guide me and tell me what I am doing wrong..or what I am doing right... : www.fitday.com is a great diary to help keep track of things but I just always felt better writing it in a tablet then trying to get it all down online..but I do like that it has a calorie burning counter t let you know how many calories you burned by what you did all day..

I must say that you look simply wonderful. I know only too well how difficult it is to tone sagging muscles and to get rid of that specially rigid band of fat around our middle, so you’ve done a great job till now…keep going and we’re here to give you all the encouragement should you ever lack in them. I don’t have any regimen for weight loss but am working so hard throughout the day and also walking to and from office so I guess that’s paid off really (the encouraging part of hard household work LOL) though in very small amounts. But the middle bulge has really been affected…more than anywhere else in the body, if I stand side-ways like you, I can see the bulge has become a little smaller! So no photos for me, the mirror’s there and am glad to have lost some pounds.

You look pretty and healthy.Whatever you are doing, you are doing the right thing. If I do before and after winter, I may look better before winter...but I am skinny anyway...maybe too skinny.... Congratulations!

First of all, good for you! No, I don't really compare photos. I avoid photos of myself that I don't like. I just compare what the scale says and what the mirror says and what my clothing says.

Well firstly well done. I hate photos of myself and there hasn’t been one taken for at least 2 years, which coincides with when I started to put on too much weight. But I do have one that was taken from a few years before that which was just after I had lost a lot of weight and I actually use that as a form of motivation because if I managed to lose it once and got into shape I can do it again. I am sure if I had a photo of myself just from a few months ago I would be shocked at how big I allowed myself to get.

Congratulation to you for having a new wonderful look1 You must be proud of yourself and just continue keeping yourself physically fit. It may feel so slow at the start but eventually you would lose some and just continue your daily routine. living healthy and a full life just wonderful gifts you could share to yourself and to those who surrounds you, keeping so simple and yet so cheerful!

Hi,kats. although i never compair with the pictures,i know there would be big changes in my body and face,...

Oh yes! Just last night I was looking at my pictures taken about 2 years ago. I can't believe I've changed a lot. Yes i compared my recent picture with those pictures and really can't believe that I was beautiful before! hahaha. kidding. I think i'm very stress this past 2 years so I see myself today to look very older or maybe the right word is mature.. :)

HELLO, yes everytime i look at my pictures especially after gaving birth to my first child i feel so like a monster when i saw my picture how large i am... lolxxxx... my husband always laugh at me everytime they saw that picture and so i used to keep it were they doesn't find it anymore. hehehe

I have always hated pictures of myself, I'm very self-conscious. And I've struggled with my weight my whole life. My weight has been up and down but I've never taken before/after photos. Now I force myself to have pictures taken and I look at old ones kind of as therapy. My attempts to accept myself. My change of heart about pictures happened because I have a 3 year old daughter and I don't want my messed up self-image to influence her. And photos record good memories.
