40 Pounds in the Face

Hey all!

I've been on and off the weight-loss wagon for the past couple of months and was starting to feel a bit down about it until I looked at some of my old photos. I thought I might share my success, both to motivate myself and to hopefully motivate others, and let them know that the journey is full of ups and downs, and there's almost never a straight path to your end goal.

I still have about 15-20 pounds left that I'd like to lose, but here is my 3/4-of-the-way-there success pictures. The 200lb picture is from January of 2012, 180lbs is from February 2013 and the 160lbs is from today :smile:

Just remember to keep on keeping on, no matter where you are in your journey!

    You look so good. Congrads! I couldn't agree with you more. It is a journey with turn and ups and downs. Every day won't be perfect, but making a lifestyle change will last forever! Best of luck to you on your next 15~20lbs!

  • Great job! I can see the progress, you look great. I took a pic today and compared it to when I first started 35 lbs ago. If you want to look its's in myrofile.
