Anybody interested in posting just before and after pics?

Most of the other threads are old, or bloated with "you look awesome" and "you go girl!" type comments. It makes it difficult (esp on mobile phones) to dig through to the pics most people are interested in.

I know I would be interested in seeing a condensed "look book"

You look like a completely different person...

Thank you!

To me, I look the same. It's not until I put pictures next to each other, that I realize I do look different.

No way ... great job

I was thinking the exact same thing @@QueenOfTheTamazons, those other threads are huge. They really should be restricted to the current year to keep the content current.

My before picture is me at my biggest. I don't remember exactly how much it was, but I know it was over 330:

And this is from a few months ago:

It's too damn cold in the gym to wear a tank top nowadays! I'll have to take a few new ones in the spring.

On the first pic ... I was like 240 lbs and the other is post op after the sleeve and I was 192 lbs on that pic. I am a proud 189 lbs now ... I think I will take new pics once I hit 180 lbs... total body because my body has changed drastically. Congrats to us all for this 2nd chance at life that God has given us.

First photo is around 540 pounds 5 years ago and the last was November last year around 250 pounds

You look amazing! Your before pic looks like it could be your father. You look a lot younger since you lost the weight :-)

Thank you for the kind words, I try to only reply when I have something worth saying instead of just talking to talk. At this stage, I am far enough out that the trial, tribulations, and emotions fresh from surgery have faded. I am not able to give pertinent advice other than "this too shall pass".

As for the pictures, I don't do the gym selfies anymore since the weight loss and strength gains have tapered off. Now I am maintaining at pretty much everything, so the allure of showing progress was waned. I no longer need that validation that the camera can provide. However, I no longer shy away from a camera or insist on being the one to take the pictures as an excuse to be in them. Here is a recent Christmas picture (sorry no beefcake!)
