100 pounds lost pics
Hi! I'm not sure how to post pics here.. but so far I'm down 100.. (have 60 yet to go) .. if someone can let me know how to do it, I'll post them here.. although I have quite a few of them showing progress already on diet blog. Anyhow.. that's all. Just thought I'd share.
Here's to the other 60 I have yet to lose. (argg)
Here's to the other 60 I have yet to lose. (argg)
Thanks.. I started trying to lose weight back in June of last year.. however I was NOT faithful in sticking to plan the whole time.. It's been like a rollercoaster ride. The most important thing I've learned was to just keep going no matter how many times ya fall off the loser train. Just make the choice to get back on. Before when I tried to diet, if I screwed up once.. .I always gave up because I always thought I "wrecked things". That's where I always went wrong - always too much of a perfectionist.. trying to do everything perfect.. silly I know, but that's what I always did that kept me from having any kind of success.
Anyhow.. thanks again for the nice words!!

You are definitely a female rolemodel, and you can see the difference in yourself today, after 100 gone, you radiate so much.
I like the fact you are the real deal, not someone who claims to have lost weight, and then is pictured in sunglasses and a tan, and died blonde hair looking nothing like the before pic.
Though I think usually such after pics like those, are just done with models to fake results, usually by companies eager to make their crappy Fat burners, weight loss drinks, pills and toilet cleaner fluids, seem wonderful.
You're genuine, and you deserve to look happy in the 100 down pics, and you desere to be very, very proud of yourself, and YES you can lose the last 60. Yes it gets a bit harder now, as you can't just get rid of a bit of junk food intake, eat a bit better, and start using Treadmills, or something like that. It gets a little more precise and analytical, to shift the final weight.
For people at the very latter stages of major weight loss, to can the remaining weight, the difficulty increases slightly, but you CAN do it, and I know of someone, (not personally), who was about 60kg, (132lbs) overweight, and in her late 20's, entered a figure contest this year, won, and made a national event.
I'm not saying you'd have to do something like that, but it proves it is possible, to lose the kind of weight you wanted to lose from the start, that it doesn't have to be punishing, and you can achieve wonderful results at the end.
You've already lost over half the weight, and you WILL lose the rest for sure.
I'm really happy for you, and I hope you can take this experience, and show it to a more far reaching audience one day, than a webblog, because people in your old situation, need to know there are genuine real world people like you to aspire to be like, and to give them hope, and that they don't ever need to become like that, no matter what life circumstances come along.
Nobody should be like you were. I certainly won't pry or speculate as to how you became like that, not just out of respect for you, but as it's not place, but you have done so well, and you look so much better. Your face absolutely shines. Now you look so healthy and feminine, instead of, (not trying to sound rude here), physically spoiled, and GOOD LUCK getting shut of the last 60lbs.
So don't go Arrrgh, you don't have to be modest with us, you know you can do it, and I didn't know of you until about 2-3 minutes before writing this, but I know you can do it, and you will definitely from current evidence take your superb looks, and become a really fantastic looking woman soon enough.
WELL DONE, you are a real inspiration, and you look very, very womanly, and deserve to be proud of all your feminine qualities.
Awesome to read about you, thanks for sharing, you are a pretty amazing person.

How can I possibly respond to such wonderful kind things said about me. I've been posting about weight loss for over a year now and this has honestly got to be the most kindest, most heart touching, most.. sweetest things ever said about me. They truly brought tears to eyes because I just couldn't believe anyone would ever take the time to say them. wow.. I don't know what to say. Thank you so much, it truly made me feel good about myself which is something I rarely do. I'm super hard on myself and about the way I look, I've lived such a miserable life in that old 310 pound body.. you can only imagine. But things are changing, little by little and it feel so great. I never realized what an impact losing this weight would have on me. .. esp not at the "half way to goal" mark. I can't imagine how things will be when I'm finally done. Ya know.. you made me really think about past when you brought up the though of how I ever got that way in the first place.. and I'd honestly have to say that I always believed there was nothing I could do about it. I grew up as a "fat kid" in school, and was picked on and mentally tortured by other class mates (NOT FAMILY!) .. and somehow, I just grew up believing they were right.. everything they said about me was true, and I was doomed to be that way and I just had to suck it up. But then I realized as I got older, NO they are NOT right! There IS something I can do about it.. and I just need to make it happen. The biggest revelation was when I learned that once I messed up on "diet plan" .. JUST KEEP GOING .. WHO CARES!! .. Just pick up where I left off, and keep going. Don't quit. It's really amazing that I never "got" that before, how stupid.. but that's the way I used to do things. I'd quit because "I blew diet".. then I'd just give up all together. Who ever thought that you could just pick up at the next meal and keep going? LOL! It's almost rocket science isn't it! Anyhow.. don't want to talk your ears off.. Just wanted to say I TRULY TRULY appreicate those nice words of encouragement.. they meant so much! I'm truly touched! THANK YOU!
You're not "talking ears off" so to speak. This is your moment, your time to shine, and say anything you want or need to say about your situation.
I just had to have another look at your site. You really do look younger now, than you did. you know your pictures make me smile inside for you.
We'll certainly do all we can, when we can, to be here for you. I'm glad people like you come on sites like this, and tell anyone who's reading, what an amazing success you've become, from a fairly troubled, and slightly confused outlook to life.
So yes you deserve all the words, and all the good things written about you. You deserve them, and I want to see you lose the 60, so be strong, chin up and GOOD LUCK.
You CAN do it .
Just think of all those people who made mock. Some might look as good as you do now, but they will never look and feel as good inside, and for that you will ALWAYS be the better of them, because you have finally found some amazing inner qualities, they won't find, because they were never there to start with.
A true human success story, and I hope you feel incredibly proud of yourself. I feel proud for you, and I'm itching already, to see the newer even more improved you with catwalk sparkle.

I just joined this website today. I've been one of the girls you have probably hated most of your life. I was always really thin, and I could eat whatever I wanted. I think i was about 125 lbs senior year of high school, and at the ripe old age of 25, i'm about 140. From what different things tell me online, I'm still not considered overweight. I'm just not happy about the way i look and feel. I want to be proud of the way i live, and I don't want to squander health on junk food anymore. I want to have control over eating, and not be impulsive about it anymore.
I cannot tell you how much your pictures have inspired me!! You are a marvel of self- discipline, and you have proven that you think you are important enought to make your health a really high priority in your life.
I recently started thinking of all the sick people in the world who would give everything they own just to be healthy enough to ride a bike.
This made me decide I have no more excuses. There is time to work out if you make the time.
I love what you said about blowing your diet and giving up. I have shared the same thought process. I am also a perfectionist, and I can totally relate to that all or nothing mentality.
Good luck, I know you can do it!!!

Ya know what?... I just simply don't know what to say! This is truly one of the most amazing support boards I've EVER visited.. I was away on a mini camping vacation with the kids and come home to read all the posts that have been put up since I've been gone and I'm overwhelmed with that abundance of kindness and heart put into each one. Thank you everyone SOOO much.. especially because I didn't do THAT great on trip and was feeling a little down on way home.. with all the extra food temptations and how prone I am to getting "lazy" about diet it was kinda rough going but boy, I can't tell you how GREAT it felt to spend that time away with the kids and we did things together that I would have NEVER done at 310 pounds.. like tubing down a river and all the walking it took to get back and forth from the start & end points. It just felt great.
Judy.. I totally know what you mean about the sick people .. and what they would give to just be able to ride a bike.. that was one of the things that motivated me most when I started to make an effort to lose weight.. 6 year old niece has Cerebral Palsy.. and I think about how badly she wishes she could walk and how hard she tries.. it put me to shame, and it's been such an inspiration to me .. helping me to get up off rump and start MOVING .. when you said that, it really hit home and reminded me of that again. You're right.. one step at a time, we can do this thing and no matter how long it takes.. we'll eventually get there!
Thank you again everyone. You've all encouraged me beyond anything I could thank you for in words.
