228 Pounds:
What helped me the most is remembering that over this last 10 pounds, my upper body measurements barely changed, but my lower body shrunk significantly... 3/4" off each thigh and 1.75" off my hips. I don't measure my butt, but let me say that all my jeans have become quite baggy in the rear and thighs this month. So that's where I look for the changes... and I do think these pictures show a bit of a smaller lower half. I do realize the picture quality is pretty rough. Maybe I will get brave next time and let someone ELSE take my picture, in adequate lighting, instead trying to keep taking them myself in my mirror and then cropping off my head. Maybe...
In the meantime, I thought I would share a picture I found today of me in 2006 at about 278 (or more) pounds. I think my legs have changed a bit. But look, my head is the same, and my baby looks just like me!

Are you kidding?? That is a MAJOR change!! You look absoloutely amazing. Way to go Lyn!!!!

I can see the difference and I am sure you are feeling it even if it's only in your mind!
My hubby is clueless and sabotaging at times -- bringing crap into the house, but I am rising above... I have my sisters for support and online friends are priceless!
Keep up the GREAT WORK!!
Good for you! Big difference!
You look fantastic! I just celebrated my 50lb mark too. It is a WONDERFUL feeling. Congratulations! Also, I am so glad your hubby noticed and gave you a well deserved compliment!
Congratulations... I just finished reading your blog from beginning to end and am so happy for your success! Keep up the good work.
P.S. If you don't see the progress, take a picture wearing the clothes from your last picture. I bet you'll see it then!

Lyn, there's definitely a difference! You can see your butt has shrunk, and there's actually a curve between your stomach and your breasts! And I'll agree with amandamariepgh, try taking a pic with the same clothes you were wearing ten pounds ago, I'm sure they will look different!
Congratulations again! **cyber-hug**
You look fantastic, and of course there's a huge difference in how you look then and now! Great job!
I love the family resemblance. It's amazing. Thanks for the laugh!
You look beautiful!!! You are doing an awesome job girl! I can see the biggest difference in your tummy and hips. You are one hot mama :) Keep up the good work!
okay if i come over to your house do you have anything I can throw at you.. nothing that would hurt you .. just something to get your attention... HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOO!!! BIG DIFFERENCE.. you look wonderful.. of course minus the head you weigh a lot less.. put the head back on ... so you can see how great you look!!!!!!
HI LYN,
IN RESPONSE TO YOUR COMMENT ON MY BLOG.. YEP.. THERE IS A SHELLAC FOR FOOD.. think about all the nice and shiny food products you see in adds.. or glazes on cakes or cookies or bars... YEP food Shellac.. :-)
wow you look fantastic!
Dare I say you're getting an hourglass...
I definitely see a difference! your waist is slimmer and your stomach flatter. you keep it up, you are looking good!
Wow! You may not notice (I never seem to notice a whole lot of difference in me), but I sure can! And I went through the withdrawal thing that you mentioned. When I gained a lot of weight I completely withdrew from a lot of friends because I was so ashamed of my weight. It's so nice to get back out and enjoy life. Congrats, you're an inspiration!
You are beautiful! I even showed your progress to my husband. You and I started out at approximately the same weight - so I look at you and say "Look what a difference there will be 50 pounds from now!" Doesn't she look awesome!!!
Well actually the reason he came to look over my shoulder in the first place is because I laughed out loud when I saw the picture of you holding the baby and saying she looks just like you...LOL
Keep up the awesome job - I like knowing what I could look like if I keep plugging away!
There is a major difference from your last snaps.You look amazing.You continue to be an inspiration.
Look at you! Can you see how narrow you are getting too?
Have your kids noticed?
Sarah,
The kids haven't said anything about weight, but they say things like, "How far do you ride on that bike? Wow that is far. How fast do you go? Do you do that every day?" (Wow, a Mom who MOVES! LOL)
WOW!!! those before /after pics are amazing:) .....congratulations on your loss. You must be so proud!!!
Amazing.
The difference is just amazing!
Keep it up, Lyn!
And WHEN are you going to post pics of your face? I have no doubt that you're just lovely!
way to Go Lyn!!! You have lost in your thighs.. and are doing great!
Congratulations!! You are doing so well and look just wonderful! Also, the baby is so cute. The way you are going she will only remember a skinny mommie!

I can definitely see a difference! You look fantabulous and should be so proud! Great job...keep it up!
Hi, my friend sent me the link to your blog. Youre doing great!
I can identify with you about losing on the lower half MORE THAN THE TOP, AT DIFFERENT RATES, I'm that way too - thing to remember is at the end it'll all catch up with itself.(SO THEY TELL ME LOL)
Good luck on your journey, YOU CAN DO IT!!
WoW!! I hope to do as good as you have done. You look so good in your pics! (would love to see your beautiful face though) Thank you for the inspiration!
You look fantastic. Keep up the great work!
In the original photo your arms are forced out to the side of you as they rest on your hips. In the 50 pound lost photo, your arms curve in and there's space between your arms and your waist/hips. What a difference.

You are my hero!!!
Don't give up and don't give in!
Always remember that YOU are the prize!!!
You're right! Your baby looks EXACTLY like you! ha ha
Just curious....does your husband have a head?
What a transformation!! I think you look great!!
