I think seeing photos of myself was the final straw that urged me to start my weightloss and I guess posting them here just means I have to get to my goal to post my after pictures, haha

This is a photo from a party in October 2007 when I think I was probably more than 154lbs and at my heaviest, but as I hadn't weighed myself in months by that point I can't be completely sure. Either way, this is THE photo that pushed me to the final straw, even if it took months to do so [I think I was in denial for a while and couldn't accept that I'd actually come to look like that]. I'm the ginger one.



As I said, it took ages for me to accept that photo, I blocked it out of my mind, but when I saw these next two, one taken at a party in March 2008 and the other taken in college around the same time, it really sunk in...

And these are my 7 pounds lighter pictures, not a massive difference I know but they've given me a boost. They were all taken last week.




I only wish I'd take proper before photos.

Another 21 pounds to go, I'm looking forward to it.

congrats on your success so far. I'm always a sucker for redheads LOL. Good luck on the future

hey great job so far - you look beautiful and I can see the difference already. And I luv your hair!!!!!!

I can't believe that 7 pounds made such a difference. You look great.
