Down 100+ lbs?! Still can't see it!

[PepLady]

It's so strange! People I know haven't been recognizing me, and I couldn't figure out why they were doing double-takes. Even though I've seen the scale drop, gone from a size 24 to a size 14, my BMI went from 44 to 27, and I'm off my blood pressure meds with great cholesterol numbers, I still don't see it when I look in the mirror! The first photo is from the week I began taking this medication. So glad I decided to try it! I’m a 48F, 6'0", started at 311lbs, now 198lbs. Sending good vibes to everyone on this journey, you've so got this!

Seeing the comparison photos side-by-side finally made the change click for me. Congrats!

Great job! Along with the medication, did you exercise or did the weight come off with just the meds?

 

[Trail_05]

I wouldn't recognize you either! You look like a completely different person. Awesome progress!

[PepLady]

You look fantastic! Can I borrow some of your height?

Wow, you look incredible PepLady! Congratulations my lovely. I’m just starting and seeing posts like yours gives me so much hope. I need to lose about 40 pounds to get back into a size 12-14 again. So very pleased for you

You look amazing! Congrats! I'm also tall and struggling to see the change (started at 286, now 222), so seeing such an amazing transformation in your before and after pics has really motivated me

Amazing! Well done!

Thanks everyone! I am still getting used to the new me lol. I was looking at some old family photos and it really hit me. It's wild how our brains work.

I totally get that. Photos make it so much easier to see the difference than the mirror does!

 

[Fox_BTW808]

I find it so hard to tell in the mirror too, I think we see ourselves every day so it's harder to notice the changes. But photos don't lie!

I agree with Fox_BTW808. Maybe try on some old clothes from before you started. It can be a real eye-opener!
