Fifty Pound Loss In Pics! (NSFW!)

Took some progress photos this am and realized that between today's photos and my "starting" photo I've lost 50 lbs exactly!

I say "starting" photo because I've actually lost about 70 lbs overall but don't have a pic of myself in my undies at my highest weight.

So here I am on January first weighing in at 207 lbs (after already losing 20 lbs), and here I am today, July 8th, at 157 lbs. I had sleeve surgery on March 22nd and have lost 39 lbs since my surgery day weigh-in. Without makeup or my hair done or striking a pose these aren't the most flattering pics but I love them as a straightforward comparison so I'm taking the plunge and sharing them here.

No matter what, I'm feeling amazing!

Strange how sometimes I look at myself and don't think I look different at all, and other days I barely recognize myself!

This is my reminder to you all... TAKE PROGRESS PICS!!!! I know it can be hard to look at a straight on photo of yourself in your underwear, especially at your highest weight, but I promise they will be priceless tools for you to measure your success as time goes on! I only wish I had a pic of myself at my highest to compare to, so I could really see how far I've come!

Thank you! Before and after pictures are a great motivator. :)

I've been taking before pics and I absolutely hate doing it but I know it's healthy to my mind-sake. Great job though! Nice transformation.

Congratulations!!!! You look fantastic! I am close to being your twinsie!!!! 5'3", currently 207, preop.

I love finding twinzies! that was always my favorite when I was pre-op, seeing what other women my size look like post-op and dreaming about what I could achieve. I'm so excited I get to be that person for someone else!!! :D

Good job!!!!! I'm 50lbs down also. Keep up the good work!!!
