Halfway point!

I have been practically living off the success stories page, I find them so inspiring and a great reminder that my weight loss goals are truly achievable. Today I weighed in at my halfway point.
A little about myself, I have been overweight as long as I can remember. Tried to lose weight many times with no success. I credit this attempt at weight loss to a few things.
1) I went to counselling for post Partum depression and discovered that I never really liked myself, I worked threw some traumas in my past that I had been blaming myself for. Working through my emotional problems really helped me through.
2) I had made the decision to not have any more children, which is fantastic when you spent the last 3 years feeling like your body isn't yours while it goes through hormonal and weight changes you can't control.
3) I have less time for cooking with 2 small kids which actually made it easier since all my go to meals are fast and easy
Mfp credits my starting weight as 204, but my heaviest was 213 back in august. That is when I started going to counselling and making baby steps towards change. I decided to start January 1st at a start weight of 204. My goal is 150 for now. Today's scale is 177. Height 5"6
As uncomfortable as these pictures make me feel I'm going to post them anyways since I found other peoples pictures so inspiring
If I can do this, you definitely can!
