OK I'm going to be brave and post some photos. I have lost 18kgs(40lbs) so far and have another 7(15lbs) to lose. These are the only photos that I have as these were the only ones that I considered good enough not to delete straight away so you can really get the idea of how I looked if these are the good ones.:ack2:
The first photos were taken last December and the newer ones today.
 
Hokey toot! What a change! Well done Eycky!!!

You look like a totally different person!

And you look great for 53 I might add!

Keep it up you! :jump:
 
Thank you both. D)
I nearly didn't put them up because I can't see a lot of difference, I just see me but my daughter says that the difference really shows. The only time I really see a huge difference in myself is my shadow, LOL, it's much smaller than it used to be.
I think that the next 7 kgs is going to make a big difference as it will get rid of the stubborn bits especially on my tummy and bum.
 
Wow !!! :D!! BowwwChicccaaaBowwwWoww!!! :party:!! You look HOTTTT!!! :D!!

Great job!! Look at that tiny little cute ass!! LOL!! ;)!!!! I love it!! :beating:!!

You are TINY TINY!!! :beating:!!!! You have come such a far long way!!! :) Keep it up!! Inspiring!
 
Oh my gosh! You look so wonderful! Oh sweetie, I'm so proud of you for all the work you've done! You've worked hard and it really shows! You inspire me more than I can say!
 
I just had to add - you actually look younger in the "now pictures" then you do in the "before pictures"! I think someone up top said you're 53?? No way!
 
W0W W0W W0W!!!
You look amazing Val - seriously - fantastic weight loss - it is a HUGE difference.

I think you are the inspiration around here!
 
Thanks Stacy, that's the first time for years that anybody has said I look young for my age :D

OH MY GOSH EYCKY!!!! You don't even look like the same person! I bet people mistake you for your daughter's sister now instead of her mother!

My mother is the same age as you and she doesn't look nearly as young as you do! What a tremendous transformation you have made. You should be SO proud of yourself!

Keep up the great work!
 
Thanks, all these posts are making me smile all day long. :D
I've had a lot of people notice my weight loss this week as I have finally decided to not wear baggy clothes. People that I see fairly regularly are really suprised as my clothes usually hid most of the weight loss and people would say things to me like. Oh you've changed your hair as they could see a difference but couldn't make out what it was. Now people think that I have done some sort of magic crash diet and don't believe that it was just healthy eating and exercise and some were even annoyed with me as I wouldn't tell them the truth.

LOL It's probably just jealousy. They probably figure if they can't do it then they don't believe that you could.

I think that will probably happen to me too. I live a thousand miles from my family, so I'm hoping I'll reach my weight loss goal before seeing them again. I know if that happens I'm sure there are people in my family who won't believe I did it the right way and will assume I had weight loss surgery or something.
 
You look really smashing!!!!!
I am SO jealous of your figure- your legs and rear look so toned and lithe. Your nutrition and exercise really show.
And it looks like you lost even more than 40 lbs- must be all that walking!

ITA that you look much younger than you are. I would have said 43, rather than 53- srsly!

Thanks for posting the pics. I don't know if I'll ever have the courage...but I'm glad you did!

Great job!
 
You obviously put in a ton of hard work and it certainly paid off! :hurray: It must feel great. You'll lose the rest before you know it. Thanks for posting your pictures. I know's it's hard but it really helps the rest of us who need some inspiration.
 
Thanks Rox, I was really nervous about it but the feedback has been wonderful. I've been so tempted to answer the compliments with a put down to myself but have promised myself that I won't do that any more and just accept the compliments graciously. :)

One of the main reasons that I wanted to put the photos up was to show people that are starting to doubt themselves that it is possible to make a difference in their bodies. If just one person is inspired by it then it was worth it. :D

You're really doing a great job! I read your other post about abdominal fat, and have the same problem, so I hope we both find a solution, although you look great to me!
I'm 54 and have lost 49 lbs since January 11th. I am about 20 lbs heavier than you, so I still have a ways to go, but am on my way to being fit after 50. I just started walking in July, but now also cycle and go to the gym when I can. I am lucky that at my gym we have 3 or 4 trainers and you can buy a one time, 30 or 60 minute session. I haven't yet, but am taking advantage of a small class teaching us how to use the toning machines. With only 2 to 4 of us their at a time, the trainer has time to work with each of us.
