I know at least one person has asked for these, and today I finally decided to do it. Sorry if it's not at all impressive.
The first pictures are "before" photos. They weren't taken for that purpose, unfortunately. The first is quite old- May 2010- to show off my big problem area, my thighs (I don't allow many photos of my thighs to be taken). I was definitely putting on weight by then but I don't know how much I weighed. The second is late November 2010, and while it's not great given I have a coat on, it shows my full figure and it does show the (size 14!) coat pulling a little (it got to pull more than that). The final one is December 2010, which shows the belly I'd developed. Between October 2010 and April 2011 I was somewhere between 75 and 80 kilograms, although I didn't keep exact track of that. I'm not the kind of person who has a lot of photos taken of her.
The second set of photos is today, at 71kg, in my workout gear (which is tight, but not as tight as it was when I bought it). Taken by me so the quality may not be wonderful, but I've tried to make it honest (no sucking in of tummy). I've also used a regular bra to show my bust as it is, not as my sports bra shrinks it to be. I've removed my head from all the shots to keep this anonymous, and watermarked it so hopefully it won't be stolen for junk weight loss "solutions".
Looking at these photos, I don't think I've changed that much, although I have started to receive comments and my clothes are fitting differently.

The cornerstone in my weight loss is that I'm calorie counting, actually, although exercise comes into it. I try to go to the gym 3-4 days a week, where I do a program especially set up for me, for my weaknesses and goals (I didn't have to pay for it, but in retrospect it's worth paying for if you have to). My program is warmup (rowing machine 3 min, stretches), a hill based program on the cross trainer (aka elliptical) for 15 minutes on resistance 7, 10 minutes on the stepper machine (stair master? you push pedals up and down and it's quite hard work), then rowing 500m flat out (at the moment I do it in about 2 min 5 seconds), then bicep curls, tricep extensions, quite a bit of ab work (4 different exercises), then cool down (same as warm-up), but that may not suit you.
glory. Taken at 69.5 kilograms- or maybe a bit less, I'm less to 12 hours until my weekly weigh in, 69.5 is what I weighed last Saturday morning. (Keep in mind that given the tight nature of the material, my bust and stomach actually aren't quite this small naturally. I think the swimmers reduce my bust by about a cup size, so similar for the stomach)
