Progress Pictures

I don't have any rule on when I take progress pictures (I am too lazy for that), I just wait until I feel a change in my body and take some snaps to see if it is noticeable. Since I got under 80 kilos (176 lbs) I am noticing changes each day. I am constantly finding new bones and muscles that I didn't realise existed. Poor AJ must be sick of me exclaiming about the muscles in my thighs and my hip bones, like I am the first person to discover the human body! It truly is exciting for me though because I have been fat since I was a baby (literally) and I have never felt bones in my body before.

You will see from my progress pictures that I have the dreaded apple shape body, so there is still a lot of fat around my stomach and I am all roly poly. I would kill for some curvaceous hips, bum, thighs and boobs, but oh well... I now have a tremendous amount of hanging skin around my stomach too that can only be repaired by surgery. I am dying to have a tummy tuck, but that won't be in the cards financially for a long time!

I am really happy with my progress so far, especially looking at the bottom photo that shows the comparison from where I started to where I am now. I won't ever forget how difficult life was for me at my biggest and I am so grateful to be where I am now. I do still have a way to go though!

    The difference is amazing. I am apple shaped too with stupid skinny legs! Would look much better if I was in proportion.

    Wow! Good sense to take the pics and keep the record. Sometimes you can only appreciate where you are going if you know where you have been. Congratulations on the inspirational progress
