  • A work in progress...from 215lbs to 181 lbs

    Still working on it but wanted to post some pics, mostly to see if anyone can tell a difference, since no one has really seemed to notice any diff yet, my clothes are definitely looser though!

    Before at 215lbs


    Current at 181lbs


    And here is a better body shot of me at around 189lbs



    Sorry they're so big lol

            You look great -- my family hasn't noticed anything either so I gave up hoping someone would say anything and let the measuring tape and scale give me the kudos I need!! Keep up the great work!

                I see it - you've done really well!

                I recently saw some ex co-workers...I'd lost 50 lbs since the last time they saw me 3 months before, and no one said a word...I'm with Carole, the scale, tape measure, my clothes and you guys give me all the love I need

                  Wow... you can certainly see the difference. Well done! Keep up the sterling work.
                  Don't worry about people not noticing... lots go around with blinkers, if you ask me. No one noticed my weight loss for months... and then all of a sudden everyone started to notice and comment. I'd been getting worried.
                  Before and after:






                  PLEDGING FLIGHTS
                  Completed: 1st set of buildings and mountains (Everest,M.Blanc & Kilimanjaro, twice); Tower Masts & Chimneys; More virtual buildings; Challenger's Choice x 2 (volcanos and mountains on Mars). Currently climbing: Mount Snowdon again: 416/475

                  Start 10 Jan 2005. Maintenance since Aug. 2005.

                    I can not believe no one noticed and said anything to you. I think its very noticeable. Congratulations on the loss!!

                      You guys are awesome!!! Thank you soooo much for your encouraging words! I am really waiting for the day my hubby notices, I know he sees me every day but hopefully sometime eventually he will be like hey somethings different lol. Until then I will keep on keeping on!!! My little brother did make a comment to me yesterday ( I see him kinda sporadically and he's a total goober), he said if you keep on losing weight your gonna look like you have been throwing up. I know its kinda of a backhanded compliment, but thats his sense of humour, anyway I was like awww you noticed!!! My other borther is getting married this weekend and I am a bridesmaid, so hopefully some of the fam I haven't seen for a bit will take a second look, if not it's all good cause I had to have my dress taken in not once but TWICE since I bought it, so there! Thanks again for the support guys, you all totally ROCK!!!!!

                            You can defo see a difference! Especially on your hips and arms!
                            It really needs a before/after pic to see sometimes, I mean NONE of my housemates have noticed that I've gone down 2 dress sizes (and I live with 5 people!) but I came home for christmas yesterday and All I've heard from my parents and relatives is how much weight I've lost (which is a real boost!)
                            Keep with it you look amazing!



                            Start weight: 182
                            Mini Goal: 158 - BMI "normal"
                            Final Goal: 148
