Pics show what the scale hides!

Went to an apple orchard on Sunday with my new guy. He snapped some photos, and I always get stressed when I see a camera pointed my way. It's a lifelong thing I'm sure. I've hated photos of myself forever, and I've been trying super hard since losing the weight to chill out about it. When he showed me the pictures, I was floored. I actually liked them! I even had to admit I look okay (kinda embarassing to say, but it's good to be positive, right?). Plus, I look genuinely happy, and I AM. It was a fantastic day, and I'm glad I'll have these to look back on. The pics also hammered home the weight loss in a way the mirror doesn't. I still don't always see it day to day. Now, if I dislike a photo, it'll be because of a double chin or weird expression, not because of my size. That's a win! Start weight: 155lbs Current weight : 97lbs Height : 5'0
 
I'm 4'11", and I went from 165 lb to around 125. It took me almost a year to fully adjust to buying the right clothing sizes. It's a mental game just as much as a physical one. Congrats on the progress!
 
Enjoy the new you!!! I started at 200 and now I am at 155. Trying to stay here as I lower my dose. Today, playing tennis, I saw a friend I hadn't seen in months. He hugged me and said I looked so different. I thought, "I look a lot smaller!" Others said the same. I think it's the weight and that I'm trying harder with my look - doing my hair, cute outfits, etc. because I'm not trying to hide. So glad to be here and feeling amazing!
 
Oh gosh, I am the SAME way with cameras. I want before and after pics, but I don’t want anyone else to see them. My family said I was looking thinner, but I still don’t see it. You look amazing. Seriously. Take those compliments and feel proud of the work you put in. We know how much effort it takes.
 
I'm always shocked when I catch a glimpse of myself in a glass door or something. Who's that skinny dude?
 
I can relate. Sometimes I do a double take in the mirror. Tracking progress helped me little by little to accept the changes and see how far I’ve come.
 
So proud of all of you! I can’t wait to get there! Started about a month ago at 190 and I'm 5'1". Down to 180 today. Fingers crossed this keeps up. Just thinking of how much better my joints will feel. Bring on feeling healthy!
 
Been thinking about starting sema. Seeing these posts is inspiring! I'm around 200 and want to get down to 150-ish. Seeing this person's post about going from a size 12/14 to a size 3 is wild!
