Like many people do, around my heaviest weight, I really hated having my photo taken. However, if I can find a photo of myself from that time period (225+ pounds), I will put one on here!

    Sally you look amazing! The weight loss progression is really noticeable in your picture montage. Thank you for sharing with us all! I LOVE that green shirt. In the last picture you just look so happy.

    Wow! You go girl!! I love your blog! Thanks for stopping by mine as well.

  • 19 Elana // Jul 24, 2008 at 10:22 pm

    You are one of those rare people who look good at every weight (love the picture of you in the tree at the top of this page). However, looking at the progression of photos is like watching a flower open up –seeing a new side of you bloom. Great photo with the red tank and lipstick –you look gorgeous and sooooo happy.

    Congratulations,
    Elana

    Good for you for

    […] updated my photo page with a photo from a recent set my husband took of me, so click on over there if you want to check out the transition.  I’ve been bouncing around 160-161 pounds since […]

  • 21 gaile // Aug 25, 2008 at 2:12 pm

    wow, you’re incredibly photogenic! I agree with Elana, you look beautiful in all of these pictures. But I can see your light and happiness just shining through as they progress – your beautiful eyes just seem to get bigger and bigger! really lovely pics!

  • 22 jodi // Aug 25, 2008 at 6:02 pm

    i think you look great! i bounced around the 160-range for a long time myself and then i lost a few more and seem to be hanging around the 155 area right now… course if i was actually TRYING to lose more, i’d be happy around 150 but i decided to take a break…

    and i agree – you’re very photogenic! :o)

  • 23 Laura // Aug 26, 2008 at 5:39 am

    WOW!!!! Gorgeous photo!!!!! What I notice most about the progression of these photos is the change in the clarity and brightness of your eyes. I noticed that with myself when I changed my diet… the eyes become clearer and softer (therefore larger). I’m so lucky to have such a hottie for a twin!!! 🙂

  • 24 Amanda // Aug 26, 2008 at 9:17 am

    Yay Sally!

    PS. Your hair rocks, it’s getting longer and longer as you get smaller and smaller! (and perhaps bigger? mine did as it got longer lol)

  • 25 melody // Aug 26, 2008 at 4:04 pm

    You look fabulous!

  • 26 Kristen // Aug 30, 2008 at 7:40 pm

    Wow – I can’t believe the difference. You look amazing! I admire your motivation and dedication. Well done! You should be VERY proud of yourself!

  • 27 Seattle Tall Poppy // Aug 31, 2008 at 7:27 am

    Wow. What a fabulous history to have… Congrats girl. Lookin’ good!

  • 28 Hendria // Sep 1, 2008 at 10:26 am

    Great job…. you look amazing… 🙂

  • 29 Emily // Sep 11, 2008 at 4:10 pm

    You are beautiful!

  • 30 schroedinger // Sep 19, 2008 at 7:27 am

    Read your post a couple of days ago–this is a great philosophy.

  • 31 Iris // Nov 4, 2008 at 3:59 pm

    Impressive…you’ve not only made a commitment, you’ve really stuck to it. And you look great!!!
    I’m glad to have made a new out-of-the-barrel pickle eating and photo taking friend.

  • 32 Amber O'Neill // Feb 4, 2009 at 1:18 pm

    You are so inspiration to me right now, not because of your success, but because of the balanced and sell-honoring way in which you achieved it — something I’m hoping to learn to do myself. Thank you thank you!

  • 33 Hannah Handpainted // Mar 5, 2009 at 8:05 pm

    I really love your sense of style, by the way…throughout your different weights.

  • 34 Stacy // Feb 12, 2010 at 10:28 pm

    I LOVE your blog!! I am so excited I found it! I’ve been a vegetarian for the last year, but just recently have gone vegan and gluten free. I have some health issues and currently weigh over 220 lbs. I want to have a story similar to yours…to live life fully, be healthy and energetic. You are such an encouragement to me and I’ll be visiting your site often.

  • 35 Alexis // Feb 27, 2010 at 12:58 pm

  • 36 sally // Feb 27, 2010 at 7:25 pm

    Hi, Alexis. Thanks for reading, and way to go on starting your journey! To answer your q., I’m 5’5″.

  • 37 kathy // Aug 22, 2010 at 3:15 pm

    Sally, your profile picture looks very different than your “160-pound” picture. What are you down to now? You look fabulous! Congratulations on your HARD work!

    LOVING your website. A definite resource!

  • 38 b // Apr 27, 2011 at 9:46 pm
