I started my weight loss journey in mid-July 2010. I reached 100 pounds in the beginning of June, but today (June 30) is my favorite milestone - I'm no longer obese! (I've lost 105 pounds total now.)

As promised, pictures of my journey.

May 2010, 280 pounds:

November 2010, 230 pounds:

End of January 2011, 212 pounds:

Beginning of May 2011, 188 pounds (I was doing a year comparison, since the last time I was in front of the camera when I was heavier was in May 2010):

Today (June 30, 2011), 175 pounds:

My goal weight is 30 pounds away - ie, 'normal' on the BMI scale. And I'll post photos again when I reach it!

    Thank you, everyone!

    Err... stick with it? Yeah, I know, easier said than done!

    I guess something that I do that I *think* helps is that I eat the same thing at approximately the same time each day, Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday that's harder to do. I allow myself indulgences - cheesecake here, brownie there - but I work off the calories I take in from those, plus some. (And I only do that once a week, tops). And every five to six weeks I allow myself to go over calories without worrying about making them up for *one* meal. (I think it trips my metabolism up a bit and gets it chugging faster for a little bit - but I don't know for sure. I usually lose two pounds the week after I do this!)

    Besides that... no matter what happens - even if you gain a pound one week or don't lose a pound - don't stop. You're worth the effort it takes to keep going!

    I must say, you look mahhvelous, baby. Nice work. Your dedication is evident in your well-earned results. You really do look marvelous, and healthy. Not to "jinx" it, but in the last pic, I would say that you don't look "overweight" either.

    Keep up the good work.
