I think the first picture is from the late 90s, so it's over 10 years ago. Knocking on the door of Club 33 in Disneyland. The skin tone really strikes me, from pasty/flushed Seattleite to a healthy sunscreen-free Florida tan.

This is FANTASTIC! You look fabulous....you after photo looks like someone that has alwasy been fit.

mirchi · 07-04-2010, 03:56 PM

CJ, your skin and complexion is so lovely. I notice that in all your pics. I am not sure if it was more hidden in your before photos (your hair is a bit different), but you are absolutely glowing.

Thank you! I am lots happier now, feel better and I have been told several times that I look much younger now. I am 28+4 (you do the math cause I don't want to!!) and several people have thought I was 26/27, but most say late 20's early 30's. The thing that makes me mad is I get a lot of 50's/60's guys trying to hit on me.... it was like, in a way it was kinda flattering but also annoying cause it made me think that either I looked way older then I am or they thought I was desperate. It was kinda making me feel bad for awhile then I had a few guys closer to my own age hit on me so then I felt better. lol

No matter what age guys hit on me, I am flattered always. I think...."glad I could make their day a little brighter." :-)

Sometimes 70 and 80 yr old men will flirt..but they are very sweet (not smarmy). I don't mind it at all...it's always good when anybody thinks one is pretty.

I am 35. This is my best year yet.

MAN, you look AMAZING!
Could you tell us what you did?

Now vs one year ago. But I still haven't been on the Paleo diet for one year yet.

Maybe it's time to do a new thread again. Lots of missing images.

Wacko · 09-30-2010, 10:53 AM

Thanks so much for posting all your fabulous inspirational photos on this thread! Everyone looks amazing!!!

I'm not quite at the after stage yet, but thought I'd post my before and almost there pics!

The before pics were taken on 15th March 2010, the almost there pics are 61lbs down, 6months later.

Since I look quite glum, I thought I'd post a smiley pic too which was taken last Friday!

whoops I think I posted this on the wrong thread! Will copy and post on the other thread too. Don't know how to delete this post. Sorry.:blush:

Anewbe · 10-11-2010, 06:06 AM

THANK YOU to all of you. Your pictures that you so unselfishly share with the rest of us is totally inspiring, motivating and helps, at least me, to know that it can be done. I will persevere and when I need encouragement here is where I will return to again and again. Thanks again! Anewbe

I know what you mean.... I used to think that it was hopeless cause even after losing 100 lbs I'd still be huge. But even now after losing 249 lbs. some people would still look at me and think I'm too big. But they can kiss my butt! I'll shake it around a bit too. LOL

dazygyrl · 10-09-2011, 10:09 AM

my journey started hard core in september '07. the before pic here was actually in 2005, and very well, could have been a higher weight than 195, but i know i was around 195 when i started in 2007. i started with simple portion control. no specific eating plan other than small portions. stalled out when i found out more about eating low carb in may 2008. stayed LC till i did more reading on hcg and started that may of 2011...have done 2 rounds of hHCG. am now doing JUDDD with mostly LC, but throw in a few higher carb treats most everyday just to decrease my carb sensitivity. i'll eat a carbier food for maybe one meal on my UD's, but still mostly LC, higher fat.

took advantage of the big mirror here in the hospital

i don't have one at home to take these pictures. thought i would take one at my new low wt of 131.9. lowest i have been in more than 15 years! hoping to get to and maintain between 128-130...unless of course i change my mind...

pic #1 195lbs (aug 2005) -- pic #2 -- 141.8 (aug 2011) -- pic #3 & 4 131.9 (oct 2011)

thanks for letting me share.
