As the topic says I am hesitant to post my first starting body shot . Although I am damn proud of my progress. Last time I posted a thread with my before pictures in it- it got taken advantage of. I used the same name for another site( off topic forums). Someone googled my user name, and they made a topic just for me- and to make fun of me. I am a really tough person, when it comes to comments about me being overweight, as long as they are in a civilized manner. I was just really offended by the way some people went about it. I know I am overweight, but I have made great progress. I don't want to be judged by who I use to be.. I know you guys are awesome, and are nothing but positive. So thank everyone on this site for your support, it means alot to me.


The first picture, below.. is my first body shot, taken at the end of April. I Weigh 228-230 in the picture. Now some of you know me, before I lost weight I had alot of problems, and I didn't care about my appearance. In the photo below, I have toothpaste on my face, No makeup - so please don't think I am naturally ugly all the time. A few months ago, I just let myself be perceived that way. I am so embarrassed by this pic, but I do realize it doesn't matter who I was- just what I am to day, and make myself to be tomorrow.

MY BODY SHOT - END OF APRIL 2007 * Weight 228-240 pounds*

Thanks for looking!

I just wanted to update with a few more pictures, and a cool story. I bought a dress four years ago, a size 7/8 I was in love with it , dreamed I could wear it one day, I tried it on today and it fits. I am so happy. It is actually a little big, my arms have a lot of loose skin, so it doesn't look so hot. BUT IT FITS! Anyways, wanting to update with a few pictures. I am wearing a size 6/8 in pants now, and a size M in most shirts. I haven't weighed in a few weeks, I feel I have been maintaining, or loosing- certainly no gains. Thanks for looking! 11/04/08

Thank you. =] The comments mean alot. :hug2:

I look forward to my updates too! I can't believe, I have achieved so much.
 
And with your determination I know you can do it. I'm really happy you posted your pics, you're an inspiration to me, and I'm sure to many others. I'm sorry about your prior experience with posting pics, some people are pathetically bored with their lives and are just plain stupid. Screw 'em, I believe in Karma and payback is a B! ;)

Take care of yourself, I'll be checking in on you! :)

Like many say... its more of a lifestyle now than a "diet" =] I feel alot better.

As for people being pathetic.. I didn't know they could go that low, but I learn something new everyday.. Like I said though, I have tough skin- It only makes me want this alot more.

I look forward to hearing more from you! Good luck on your journey:)
 
Wow your tummy has really flattened out! I wish my tummy looked like that!! lol Congrats and good luck with everything!! :)
 
You're curvy shape has really come out now and your stomach went down considerably. That's an amazing transformation Aleeuh. You deserve to be very proud of yourself, but you have to remember you're the same person inside no matter what weight you are. As you age you'll start noticing a lot of people that look like they have it all together really dont, they might be addicted to alcohol or spending money into debt or whatever while some overweight people wear their coping mechanism or other issue related to overeating right on their sleeve in full view for everyone. Doesn't mean that mostly everyone else doesn't have some issues in one way or another. But getting healthy for you is so important and you are DOING IT! Good for you :).
 
Babygirl, you already know how I feel. :D I love you lots and I think you're doing fabulous. The difference is amazing... the tummy's gone down a lot and your face is beautiful as ever. We're in this together and if I can help motivate/ support you, you can count on this girly. :hug2: Come on, doll... one more pound and you're into Onederland! I'm so proud of you, Alee- Alee-damn-ah.
