Halfway! (pictures included)

adunkin22

I wanted to upload these because I needed to give myself some motivation. I haven't been as focused lately and looking at these pictures makes me want to make it to my goal weight. The best part of this journey so far is that I no longer feel like the fat chick with all my friends. I feel pretty comfortable in my own skin most of the time. I can wear size 10 jeans (which is the average size for women according to oprah, haha) and I can buy some clothes from abercromie&fitch (a dream since middle school). I don't ALWAYS feel self-conscious anymore, just sometimes haha.
My heaviest weight was in 9th grade at 210 lbs. I started MFP in the summer of '10 at 195 lbs. I am currently 175 lbs and counting.
I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me so far. I cannot wait to post my final pictures one day... SOON! haha.
Love you all. This site has truly made such a difference in my life and I could not be more grateful.

INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Nice job!!!!!!! You look beautiful- on the inside and outside! There is no doubt you are perfect just the way you are, no matter what the weight, but it seems you are approaching your natural, God-given, set-point size and that is absolutely wonderful. Great, great job! I applaud you! xoxoxoxo

Your face is sooooo much thinner. You look like a completely different person. And your body looks so tiny now. You must be tall because you look as if you should weigh about 130 now! Hats off to you......great job!
