Cheers,
MissDFITT

I really enjoyed watching that. It was very cute. You are soo beautiful now! Congrats on your loss thus far :D

You are an absolute BEAUTY!!! Congrats on your incredible weightloss!!!

It's unanimous... you're beautiful! You are a shadow of your former self and nearly unrecognizable from your starting point. Amazing job you've done! 100 lbs is quite an achievement!

I think I could cry right now after watching that.

I'm currently weighing in at 256lbs and in 50minutes I start my first of many sessions with my own personal trainer.

I really needed to see that right now....reminds me again where I'm starting and where I hope to be!

You are beautiful!!!!!

I started at 232. Im only at 220 right now. I would love to be at 132....

Awesome job! :party:

:party:Terrific job! I would like to know how you have achieved such amazing results.

Congratulations!
ABBA

Thank you for all of your kind words. It seems this has been long journey! I have been eating a 1000-1500 calories a day and do cardio about 3x a week. I look at pics of myself when I was at my heaviest weight and I can see the unhappiness. My issue now is gaining self confidence, even though I have lost almost 100lbs I still hide myself because I feel like the fatest person in the room.My mindset hasn't grasped the idea that I have gone from a size 18-20 to a 4-6. Looking at peoples before and after photos is what keeps me going, everytime my motivation slipped this is where I came to get inspiration.

WOW!!! truely amazing. Keep up the good work.

What an awesome video! I was 202 pounds and am down to 145 in 8 months time, so I know how you feel. I have 15 pound to go and it is the hardest to get off. Congratulations and never, ever look back! I keep reminding myself that I am never going back there again. I will post my pictures as you have done someday soon. Thanks for the inspiration and you go girl!

Wow, you're incredible! You were always absolutely gorgeous, but you're seriously hot now :) Great slide show you've put together, very inspirational.

Funshine, just adding that you won't regret having a personal trainer. Mine has made such a difference to my life, she keeps me motivated, sets goals, pushes me, encourages me and celebrates my achievements. Good luck!

You are gorgus! I think if I made the progress that you have I would not be hiding myself, I would be showingg off the all the hard work that I have overcome. I don't know what its like where you live but people that are a size 8 or less are considered tiny here. You should be VERY proud of yourself & stop thinking of yourself as being fat cuz you have not been "fat" in a long time.

I agree with everyone, it takes time for you mind to play catch up. I suffer from the same thing... I call it fat girl syndrome... its hard to not feel like the largest person in the room when you were for so long... and now there is a good chance you are one of the smallest people in the room! Give it time and the confidence with follow.

Again you look great! :hurray:

wow, you look terrific! congrats

Thank you for posting your slideshow. You have done an AMAZING job! All of your hard work shows...Keep smiling! :) You're my inspiration!

You look gorgeous!How long did it take you? You must get a lot of attention now..does that feel weird?

I'll admit i cried... Thanks azshopgirl!

Hey shopgirl you look awesome! Thanks for inspiring me. I am still working to get the last 10 pounds off but I will share my before and after pictures with you. My husband told me to flex for this picture (it was for a contest I am entering). You're doing awesome! Thanks so much for sharing your story.

Yeah...I shed a tear too...lol....awesome job you sexy girl you!!!! Congrats!!!

That is so amazing! Congratulations you look fabulous!!

mdhuffman you look fantastic, how much have you lost???

Hi Shopgirl!

So far I've lost 58 pounds. Trying to get off the last 10 or 15. I'm not sure exactly how much more I need to lose but I sure know where I need to lose it. The belly fat from all those babies it taking a while to come off. Slow and steady is the way I look at it. As long as I'm moving forward I am happy. And thank you for the compliment. You know how those keep you going.

How are you doing with the last of your weight? Your face has thinned out so much. It is amazing how it feels, isn't it? I constantly get people who tell me I don't look like the same person. Watching your video is like watching a beautiful flower bloom. Just amazing. It made me cry because I understand how it feels. I carry around those two pictures of me wherever I go. I don't want to forget what it felt like to be heavy because I don't ever want to go back and I also want to remember just how far I've come when I feel like I'm not quite where I want to be.

Wow, that is amazing...you look amazing
well done on such a HUGE loss :party:

I loved the SLIDESHOW!!! You look sooooo beautiful!!! :iagree:

I want to cry. Im so jelous but the same time VERY proud of you.

You are very sexy, flaunt what you got hottie with a body.

Amazing job! A real inspiration for everyone to uncover their "hidden beauty" so to speak. I'm 67lbs down and 53 to go.... I'll make it there some day :D.

Hey Shopgirl-
Looked at your slideshow again. Saw your current pics. You are looking amazing! Congrats! My weight loss has really come to a screeching halt. I have got 10 last pounds to get off despite my clean eating efforts and tons of exercise. Any tips?

All I have to say is WOW. You look like a completely new person and I am willing to bet you feel like one too. OUTSTANDING work thus far, and good luck with your 15 or so pounds left. Simply amazing. :hurray:

Oh... and blonde is definitely you! :drool5:

That's phenomenal. I'm wanting to lose 100 pounds too, so seeing this really gives me a lot of hope. Congratulations to you! Be confident!

OMG! you lost your elbow chubb! so it CAN come off!! You've given me new hope *tear*

This is what needs to happen to all of us pretty but chubby girls, what a great example of transformation and hard work!:hurray:
