Today is my first day on the forum and I've already been so inspired looking at before & afters. I wanted to post my own pictures.

Where I used to be: pic 1: Just before H.S. graduation (age 17, May 2000, about 130 lbs), pic 2: 1st weekend in college (18, Aug. 2000, 133 or 134), pic 3: my lowest ever, sophomore year (19, Mar. 2002, 122)

My "before" pic 1: after a few years of marriage, I didn't know how bad I looked yet (23, 2006, upper 150s probably), pic 2: childhood bff's wedding (25, Nov. 2007, about 165)

Both of these are from the same week of camp (25, June 2008, 170)

Now I am at 148, so I'm not overweight any more, but I want to get back to 130, where I feel my best. I'll post current photos soon.

Here are my current photos:

I started jogging again- I was very active in high school and when I first started college. I also have stopped eating fast food so much, especially alone.

I think a big factor was when I stopped taking birth control. That's when the weight finaly stopped dropping.
 
Just wondering.. How tall were you when you wighed 130? If you remember. Thanks! And good luck!!!
 
This is the most recent body shot I have. It's from May '10 and I'm 147-148 lbs. I'm with my effortlessly thin husband. We actually weigh about the same (which I want to change!) I need to take one for the purpose of this thread.

I apologize for the cheesiness!
 
I have my pictures up, now.

Also, I started Monday on a diet where I eat different combinations of fruits, veggies and protein 6 times a day. I'm mostly trying to train myself to stop eating at satiation and eat only when hungry. That's how I got down to 122 in college (not that I want to get that low again.)

So, last night, I weighed myself before bed so just I could see the difference from when I go to bed to when I wake up. I was 148 even last night, about what I had expected because I had just eaten a snack and drank a lot of water.

This morning, I weighed myself after using the bathroom, just before my shower as usual. I weighed 145! I was pretty shocked because usually my weight doesn't fluctuate quite that much, so if it stays down there tomorrow, I'll really be surprised.

So it looks as though my diet is working. It's great because I get to eat so often I don't stay hungry.
 
I did the night & morning weigh thing again out of curiosity.
Last night: 145.8; This morning 143.6
This means that I've lost over 3 lbs since Monday. I'm taking today and tomorrow off from my diet because I don't need to lose that quickly.
I lost 3/4 in. off my waist since Monday, too. That made me happier than the weight, but still, it's kinda fast.
 
You look great and it sounds like you're doing well and keeping the weight loss up. Your stomach looks awesome and in the most recent picture you look fabulous as well.
It seems as though you've got your routine down, so all I can see is keep with it! You are definitely an inspiration for me! :)
 
New photos

I realized I hadn't updated in over a month. I'm now down to 140.4 as of this morning. I've lost about 1 1/2 in. from my waist since I started this diet about 6 weeks ago at 148.
Here are some updated photos. In each one, the first is from Aug. 19 and the 2nd is from yesterday, Sept. 29.
I'm also uploading a set of photos in tighter clothes. The blue outfit makes me look too good. In the next set, you will be able to see all my bulges.
