WOW! I don't have before pictures either 😕 

Yeah it sucks so we need to tell the newbies to do it!!  

Well, I’m 370 currently. I’ll have my wife take some before pictures. 

I wouldn't have guessed it was the same person - way to go! 

I didn't think of doing that and I also should have taken measurements ! Congrats 🙌 on your achievement !  

I love your little waist, my body shape was like an orange with legs 🍊☹ 

Wow! Winning! 

More encouragement. You've done a great job! 

Sweet, yes! Measurements are even more important because when the scale isn't cooperating those encourage like no other! Also pics can be deceiving from different clothes, lighting and angles...and bloat! But there's little to no denying measurements! And Herron...yes!! Take those pics asap you're going to be very glad you did! 

Good job! I have a lot of hanging, loose skin after my weight loss so I still look fat around my tummy. 😟 

I don't have any really good before pix that i took for the sake of taking a "before pic" I wish I did! I do really think it helps create motivation 

I was discouraged as I gained almost 2 lbs. after a steady down turn on my weight graph, but I'm going to measure right now because my waist band is a bit looser on these slacks. Thanks for the tip. 

nice 

The fatter you are when you start taking pictures, the BETTER! You'll be so proud of those "Before" pictures, when you have the "After" to put next to them! 

I agree. I was very doubtful I would succeed so I didn't take photos or measurements. In retrospect I wish I would have had more confidence in myself. 

I totally agree with you. As bad as I hated taking pictures I wish I had more. But they come in good for comparison on your journey. 

I kind of regret that now. Since my journey is the complete opposite, since im trying to gain weight, i didnt think that month to month pics would motive me to keep going. Honestly, since im skinny-fat, my journey has been a very long and hard one but i do kind of regret not at least taking a couple of pics 🤦🏾‍♂️ I guess thats the reason why i dont post my meals either since im conscious of people in the community and they relapsing seen what i eat to gain weight. 

@prettykj1, wouldn't it have been wonderful if God had designed the world so that the people who want to LOSE weight and the people who want to GAIN weight could just exchange with each other??? Like, every Friday night, we could all get together - I'd give you a couple pounds for SURE! 

@debbiecousins that would be wonderful!!! Lol a prayer service just for that lol all u have to do is lay hands on someone, ask God where and how much and its done lol. That would be a glorious service!! 

I have an old friend who is very thin; She once said that she is all waist, when I told her I had no waist. We laughed and wished that we could share!
