Lost 15 lbs! (with pics)

I started MFP in January 2013...stopped coming for a while, then started back again and tracking consistently since mid-January of this year. I have always been pretty active, but was getting tired of not shedding those 10lbs that seemed have crept up over time. Thanks to MFP calorie tracking, my motivating MFP friends, my treadmill, the 30DS, and my awesome active family I have lost about 15 lbs!
I love to eat and cook, so I still have enjoyed all my favorite foods and beer and wine, within my calorie range. I have always enjoyed exercising, but would let my schedule or just being lazy get in the way. Now I make exercising a priority...getting on the treadmill in the morning, then finish with a quick 30DS workout. Then if the weather has been good, I get a bonus exercise by getting outside with my kids and walking/running while they play and ride their bikes. So much fun for everyone!
I have never taken pictures of myself...so I am new to all this "selfie" stuff. :laugh: But just wanted to share my before and after pics with my fellow MFP community!
The before pic was taken about 1 year ago when I started MFP. The after picture was taken this morning. My goal now is just to continue to tone, build strength and build endurance for longer runs. If I loose a few more lbs that would be great, but I also just want to focus on toning and building muscle.

Thank you all for the encouragement! You guys are awesome!! :flowerforyou:
@lula1967 - thank you for the compliment too! I was still ok with the way I looked before, but just had that little bludge around my waist when wearing jeans or pants. It really feels good now to put on my clothes and not have as many lumps and bumps when I button my clothes or sit down. Plus I feel a lot healthier and more fit. Turning 40 was a good motivator to lose those 10+ lbs that have crept up over the past few years. I wanted to stop it before it crept up any more! :laugh:0 -
