78 lbs down, 23 lbs left to reach my goal

78 lbs lost progress pics

I've have always been so motivated and moved by the wonderful success posts. I love seeing the amazing changes weight loss gives everyone. I love to see their journey to their goal weight and while I still have 23 lbs left to reach my 101 lb weight loss goal, today I had a rewarding NSV. I bought my first full length mirror in almost 20 years. I haven't wanted to have one in forever because mirrors were something to avoid, especially a full body one! The last picture is my purchasing my new beautiful mirror. But, I will start with the picture I took a year ago in December. It was the photo that started it all. I absolutely hated it and thought enough is enough... I've got to make a change. So I started my MFP journey on December 28, 2013.

Here are a few other pics that made me hate photographs and avoid mirrors:

This last picture is today buying my beautiful new mirror. I still have 23 lbs to go, but I finally feel like I have made it to the point that I can share pictures of my journey.
