36.5 pounds lost so far. new pics

Hi, I posted some pics now that i've lost 36.5 pounds. I still have a long way to go but i wondered if anyone else can tell i've lost? The pics arent the greatest and i was trying to duplicate the horrible outfit i had on in the original pic! lol. Thanks and have a great day!

there are no photos...

oops sorry about that. i think i have it fixed now.

Congratulations!  That's fantastic!

Congratulations!  Keep up the good work.

You can definitely tell, especially in your face! Your girls are beautiful too by the way, and they must be so proud of you. The pictures are great =) Well done!

Hehe how does it feel to be one of those inspirations on CC? You're crossing into that territory! Kudos

Thanks jeccababe!  however, my older one is a boy :) ! don't worry about it though! he gets that all the time right now because he has pretty eyelashes and long hair! He likes his hair though so more power to him! Once he hits puberty he won't look like a girl! lol.

I don't know if i'm closing in on inspiration territory yet! I do know it feels great to be dropping the weight and getting healthy though. I'm hoping to be under 200 by Christmas. It's a goal of less than 2 pounds a week so I'm hoping i can get there!

Thanks for the kind words and support!!

you are doing a fantastic job! The difference in that picture of you in the same outfit before and after says it all! You're definitely on your way to being featured in some CC article or something :)

Great job!  Keep it going.

Well done!  And you are an inspiration!  Keep up the good work and I know you will make your goal.  Your kids are gorgeous!

I sure can tell, great job!  You'll need some new green pants before those fall off!  :)  Thanks for sharing.

OMG- You look great!! Its like the littler person inside that big person has come out of her skin!

Can I please be the first to burn those pants when you get to target??!! 

I swear if my kids hadn't picked them out as a gift i wouldn't wear them! Well, that and they are comfy. :P  Doesnt everyone need a pair of hideous lime green pants with blue monkey faces on them???  In my defense, it WAS halloween when the first pic was taken!

P.S. I think there is a line forming for the burning of these hideous pants!!!!!!!  :D

 

Thanks for everyone's nice comments! It's great to have the support that keeps this if not fun, at least less horrible!

Ooohh me too me too, on the burning of those pants! Promise you will never, ever put them on again. Ever. Even for effect.

The recent pic of you in jeans really shows your progress - fantastic!! And I read your journal entry about what you used to eat in a week versus now - I can relate. Isn't it wonderfully gratifying to see that your choices really do effect your weight, that it's not some mysterious metabolic anomoly? I am amazed every week at how I just keep losing, I can do it!! Yay me, and yay you!! :)

can't i take one final pic in those pants once i reach my goal weight? lol. or should i just burn them right now?

Definately keep them until target- then take a pic of you & your kids in them- then burn them!

Your are doing a great job! I have a similar journey so I know you have worked very hard to get this far.
