Girl you look FANTASTIC!

I came in here for some inspiration, having only just started Low Carb and it is amazing to see the success stories.
I could not believe those two pictures - if I didn't know better I would say they were two different women.

Keep it up!!!!

Congratulations Talon!!!!

My computer is super-slow and it took like five minutes to open the pictures. I thought, should I just give up? Nah, I'll play solitaire. And then, WOW!! I'm so glad I saw those pictures, because they are MAJOR motivation for me. The holidays are a hard time of year to be mindful of what I eat, and that was a shot in the arm. I feel much more motivated to be faithful to the WOE. More importantly, YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!! You started that thread in October, I can only imagine how great you look now!

Thank you for sharing your pictures. You never know how many other people you motivate by that!! I CAN'T WAIT to be able to post pictures of my own. CONGRATULATIONS!! you're awesome!

best, kypraia

What an awesome difference!!! If you look this good at your half-way mark then I can't wait to see you when you hit goal!!
Truly an inspiration to us all.

Whenever I come across someone who needs motivation to start the WOE I will surely send them in your direction.

Thanks everyone! I had somehow lost my subscription from this thread and didn't even know anyone had posted to it of late!

Since the initial post on Oct 7th and today is Dec 9th, and in those two months I've lost 8 pounds - not a record, but it is in the right direction - plus I feel mah-velous! I think my next picutre will be when I am 3/4 of the way there at 75 pounds gone - just 13 more pounds to go ( I am at 62.5 gone right now) I hope that to be in February - hopefully March at the latest.

I'll take the next picture with the same shirt, but I'll take another one that fits a tad better too!

Talon! I just love your before-and-during picture! You look fabulous! You must ALWAYS keep that sweater! I have a before picture that I took of myself when I first started. BUT I took it wearing my bra and panties! I've been so camera shy for a number of years. I hope that somewhere there's a before picture of me DRESSED!

WAY TO GO, TALON!!

You are such an inspiration to me! I work at a desk almost identical to yours, have dark hair and glasses. Right now I look closer to your before picture and look forward to looking more like your after. I really like how you've done the pictures, too. Makes the difference even more striking. You look so YOUNG in the second picture!!! Congratulations on your success! Best wishes for 2003!

No pun intended, but you look like you are at least 30 years younger, you look fabulous.

You truly inspired me to stick with it.

Keep up the good work. Way to go!
