Today is a good day! *pics*

I started my weight loss journey after my doctor confirmed my worst fear -- PCOS and borderline diabetes to name a few. I was put on medications and made a decision that day I was NOT going to let medical issues run my life. I started bettering myself after that appointment -- that was January 11, 2011.

Up until today I was becoming quite discouraged as I have yet to drop a pant size. My shirts fit better, and my undies are now to big BUT my jean size is still the same. Today I decided to take some random pictures of myself. Why? Boredom I guess. Then I remembered what a few MFP pals had said to me: "Sometimes you cant see a difference until you see a 'before' picture..."
I asked hub if he had any random pictures of me on his phone. He searched and found ONE. Apparently I had deleted all the others (for fear his co-workers MIGHT see em) ...:grumble:

That one picture was all it took. I CAN see a difference! I FINALLY SEE progress and its a wonderful feeling!

I am only one third to my final goal. 89 lbs seems like a lot, but I got this!!

First time posting pics. I hope it works... I apologize if they come out to big...

This was taken November 20, 2010 -- nearing 250lbs



This is me today, 4 months after starting my weight loss journey -- May 11, 2011 -- 220lbs



I'm starting to love myself again, and that my friends make this journey SOOO very worth it!

Wow! What a difference!! Our stories are very similar in that I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 19 and am also insulin resistant. You are doing great!
