Pics DO help! (1 month in)

[PepLady]

One month down! I'm not really seeing a change when I glance in the mirror, but looking at the photos side by side? Huge difference! Down 17 pounds. So happy. Still a long way to go, and the first photo is a bit cringe.

Good for you! These meds seem to have a beneficial effect on overall inflammation.

That's a great amount of progress for just a month!

You will reach your goal! Keep it up and keep sharing your progress. You are doing great!

Way to go for you! Continue the amazing effort! Do not feel bad about where you began; feel happy about your journey! I started at 290+ and now weigh 140+. Keep up the great effort! You've got this!

Incredible effort! I am happy you took pictures; it really helps to visualize what the mirror does not always show!

Yes, take the photos! I kept thinking about it but never did. I regret it badly. I went from a size 16/18 to a size 8 now (and keep dropping), and I wish I had a before pic for the days when I feel blah.

This is awesome!

Also, your skin looks much better!

 

[My_Pal]

Your arms look much better. That was likely inflammation.

 

[BigWine]

I didn’t take any *before* photos and I am regretting it. I don't think I see any change at all, even after dropping about 22 pounds. But my pants are starting to feel loose.

 

[RunFTW]

WOW! Incredible progress!

 

[Maxie_62]

Your skin also appears healthier, great job!

 

[ThinQuest928]

OMG!

 

[BeeWine432]

You look wonderful!

 

[PepLady]

Thanks, everyone! I'm feeling so much more motivated now. This thread really helped!

 

[RunFTW]

BeeWine432 I feel you on the regret! Even if you start taking pics now, it will be great to see the progress.

 

[BigWine]

Yeah, I'm going to start taking pictures now. It's better than nothing! Maybe I'll see a difference in a month. Thanks for the inspiration PepLady!

I agree with My_Pal. It's interesting to see the anti-inflammatory effects of these medications. Could open up new avenues for research.
