I have NEVER posted before pictures of myself before this.

I sure don't look like somebody who has *liver/kidney/heart damage* (ya right!) from low carbing do I?

Holy shmoly! No es verdad! Are you sure this is not a pic of your younger sister?

Down, boys down!!!! She's already taken!!! (too bad ah!)

LC,

What a difference! You look fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing.

I have a before picture but not one of my heaviest weight. Many people would say I wasn't overweight but when I realized I could sit down and have my stomach and my bust meet--well, let's just say that it wasn't one of my better days. The realizatin of just how much weight I'd gained (and here's me thinkin' where did it come from????) combined with the horribly unwell feelings I had been having was the beginning of changes.

And that's what it's about isn't it? Not really what other people's perceptions are of your weight or health but your own level of comfort inside your own skin, so to speak . . .

Anyway, thank you again and congrats. You should be really proud of yourself--for the changes and for sharing your story with us.

Gosh, you're...gorgeous! Thank you for posting those. Now, I could low carb for a decade and not look that good, but it's nice to see a real live model for the program

Its inspiration like this to make me say, I think I can, I think I can, it really can be done.

Thanks for sharing, you look great!!!!

OMG...thanks so much for posting those pics...what an inspiration!! I could only hope for such a transformation!!
Especially needed some extra encouragement today. This is Day 6 and feeling pretty lousy. though I know it won't last..coming down with a cold, also my TOM and LCing seems to be giving me the "multiple whammy". I ought to print out your pictures and put them on my fridge !!

YOU'RE WONDERFUL!!!

Are you gents posting from your cells? HAHAH - just kidding. I do appreciate the.... uh .. good wishes. I haven't been whistled at in years, kinda feels neat.

Ladies - I do NOT see any kind of BABE when I look at that after picture of me.

I see somebody who's back doesn't hurt anymore. And somebody who, when her shoulder is against the wheel, can move mountains (literally )

*Determination* has a 28 inch waist in that photo. I posted it to show you that "nothing tastes as good as thin feels". Not my saying originally - but I love it because it is true.

Don't ANY of you GIVE UP on this journey.

OH MY GOODNESS!! YOU ARE SOOOO GORGEOUS! i'm not bitter.
