Before in-between 75lbs so far.

Adding a face compare so people can see double chins can go away. No make up in the second pic so please ignore the blemishes. Also the second pic I snapped tonight on my web cam so not as good of lighting or quality.

The face shots really tell the story too.. wowsers! You look fantastic! Thanks again for sharing your inspiring story and photos with us :D
 
I know I was saying that to my husband yesterday putting stuff I bought last month into bins because they are to loose now. I suspect though my rate of losing will slow a bit now but I know as long as I keep going I will get there.

The amount of loose skin that is showing up is getting a bit frightening but I know some of it will tighten up (at least that is my hope).

I also now am able to do 4 miles in 45 minutes which is a new mile stone! I got home told my husband my time was 45 minutes then flopped into a chair and chugged a sports bottle of water. I was soooooore the next day but felt awesome. Now I have done it 3 more times and it is getting easier soon I will have to increase the distance again which as weird as it may sound I am really excited about it. Here's to hoping by mid August I will have up my -100lbs pics!
 
Just an update I am now 82lbs down :D and lost 12lbs and 2.4% body fat in June. I am now adding mixed martial arts class 3 times a week and a bit more weight training to try and be able to post my minus 100lbs pics by mid August. I also had to go buy medium work out pants which made me VERY happy!!
 
Hey incredible progress!! You look pretty!

Too bad you had to give your clothes away :( , not that charity is a bad thing! Lucky me though because where I live getting clothes altered from a tailor is really really cheap! So I'll continue using my clothes when I slim down! :party:

Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see you reach your target.
 
It varies on the day but normally 1200-1400 depending on what I am doing. Once I am finished losing my target calories will be around 1600-2000 with the activity level I am at. I consulted with one of my doctor's and after the latest caliper test for this end of month they now think I should not go below 165-170. I have gained lots of muscle and my body comp is changing rapidly as I get closer to goal weight. They feel I will have 15-25lbs of excess skin that will need to be removed by the time I am at a healthy weight and trying to go lower then that would be unhealthy for what I am showing. My current goal is 10lbs a month which so far I have been meeting and exceeding so I keep my fingers crossed that it will continue to happen!

You go girl! You have been doing fantastic! Keep up the great work!!! :party:
 
Very good work..... I still keep some clothes to remind me of how far I came, Some of the sweats pants i use to wear looked painted on, now they are baggy. Its a great feeling. I'm glad you made the committment and made that lifestyle change....
Keep up the good work : )
 
Aww this got resurrected!

I lost a total of 130lbs and now sit at 170 :) I am a size 6/8. I wanted to get to 155 but had to come to agreement with my doctor that was not going to happen. I have lots of muscle mass and loose skin. They think I am carrying around 10-15lbs of it. I have kept the poundage off for well over a year moving towards 2 years :)

I posted this briefly in another thread recently and will post my 300-183 pics here for a little while.

Wow, you look fantastic! I would never believe you have loose skin, you are so shapely. Amazing! Great Job!
 
Massive congrats on the weight loss. You look fantastic, like a completely different person. You should be so proud of yourself! :hurray:
 
Thanks guys :) I got tons of inspiration and continued inspiration from this area of the board.

When people worry about loose skin I always like to tell them you can hide the loose skin with good clothing choices. You can't hide 100lbs of fat with clothes. I will take the loose skin over how I use to look 100% of the time :)

SparkErosion having you say incredible job made me grin. I've stalked your thread a bit and you Sir are amazing with your muscles! I wish my back and arms were half as awesomely defined as yours!!!
