I've been here for about 3 months, and I've lost 16.5 kg (36 lbs). I felt like nothing was changing, and I was wasting my time because a lot of people say that at 10kg you should see a difference. After reading some stories from here about always taking progress pictures is important, I decided take some happy snaps to see if I could see a difference, and I was pretty shocked when I compared them to my start photos. My butt/belly has actually started to shrink, and I have a collar bone! I don't think I've ever had a collar bone! haha
Reading all the wonderful success stories and motivational quips from this site has pushed me to get where I am now. I still got a long way to go, but I've learnt heaps from being here and I'm excited to keep going with this journey.

So that's my latest success, what's yours? :smile:

  • What they say about pictures is true! I found a picture of myself from July 2010. and decided to take some progress pics the other day. I was surprised and shocked at the difference. I never saw myself as being that big before I saw me-then compared to me-now.

    here is the link to my blog post if you care to see them;

    I decided on 12/2/2010 that I would not maintain my weight another day. I have lost 54 pounds and it truly does show. Started at 212 and this morning I weighed 158.

    My yearly physical is coming up and I am excited to see what my physician has to say about the weight loss. She never once mentioned my weight being a problem (but then I have never had a doctor address my weight) and it will be fun to see if she notices and what she has to say.

    IMost mornings I walk two hours and with MFP feel so much better. Went from a size 22 to size 10/12. Thrift stores were my friend during this journey.

    Love hearing the success stories.
