I'm going to attempt to post some updated sideways pics of me. For some reason I carry my weight from front to back.. pictures from the front I don't look much different because I'm not wide sideways. (Does this make sense?) anyway, I see a little bit of difference here. According to the inches, my butt is what has shrunk the most but my sister says my stomach looks like it has shrunk the most.. I had to change the t-shirts because the tshirt in the first one was just swamping me and you couldn't tell anything in the after pic. I wish I would have taken my pics in one of those tight work out outfits like others did that way you could really tell. Oh well. Ick, this is so embarrassing, hence the reason I'm not putting these on the main before/after picture page. LOL.

What progress! Super job!

Great difference, you must be feeling wonderful.

I'm the opposite, I just about disappear in a pick taken from the side, stomach as flat as a pancake, but I'm wide across, good childbearing hips, lol.

Looking great crystal, keep it going!!:thumbup:

What a difference! Keep up the great work girl!:woot:

I love seeing pics. you go Girl. keep up the great work........

Crystal, you are rocking this band thing honey! Keep it going my friend.

Cool..you look great!! I hold mine just like you do..I have a new pic but I am not a computer guru..I'm trying to post it today! You are doing great and we are always our own worse critics!! BIG difference!! :woot::biggrin2:

Crystal -

What a remarkable change. Not only is your butt shrinking, but your stomach is too.

I feel the same way about my pictures that you do about yours. I really don't notice much difference, but when I send them out to family, they all have such positive (and sometimes jealous) things to say.

Why is it that we can all notice the difference in someone else before we give ourselves credit for our own accomplishments.

Be proud of what you have done - HUGE change!!!

Hang in there Crystal. Little baby steps add up to a lot of distance covered over a years time. 1 pound loss a week is over 50 pounds in a year. That's huge. I can't wait til I can post a pic where I can ee the loss. There is a big difference in yours!!!!

That's amazing!!! Congrats on the shrinking :woot:

I am very impressed, Crystal! The changes in your body are incredible. I'm so happy for you! =)

Wow, thank you everybody! I've been gone all weekend doing the Rennaissance faire thing that I do every weekend (dress up in corsets and all that fun stuff) and just got home to read all these! it really just filled me up with so much encouragement and happiness! I'm the happiest in my life right now than I have been in a long time.. I mean, I had a great life before and a wonderful supportive hubby, but I just feel happy that I can get around better and can fit into seats a little better and just have the energy to even walk around a dang grocery store.. before I would be in severe pain after 5 minutes.. This might sound weird but if I just lost 10 more pounds I would totally be happy with that.. lol. Thank you all for your kind words.. it made me feel like all this working out and turning that pizza down last night was all worth it. :-)

a LITTLE BIT of a difference ... umm, yeah ... more like a huge difference already ... you've gone and lost yer tummy and butt!! :confused_smile:

great job!

Looking good! Those skinny bitches are going to be jealous of you in no time! You're going to be even hotter than you are now!

You look great. Can really see your weight loss. Congrats!
