16 lbs down from 162!

emd0019

Okay so I know a lot of people post on here about how they lost a whole lot of weight.... I am not one of those people. I know 16 lbs for most isn't inspiring but I saw how I looked in this sweater this morning and was so excited.:happy: I don't know if you are going to be able to tell a big difference with the pictures I chose but I wanted to put these up here so maybe I won't let myself backslide.:embarassed:

Before around 158-160



After



And here is one of my dog enjoying the sun this last weekend while I was studying


Like I said I am by far no inspiration but I put these up here more for myself than anything.

Definitely inspiring to me and probably to many other people that have just started MFP. I just started Monday and I will probably post pics every 10 pounds lost. lol. But you can see a difference..... congratulations!!!

You look great and yes, you can tell a difference! 1lb down is better than 1lb up so 16 down is a big accomplishment!

There is a difference! Great job!! I too have lost about 15ish pounds and I THINK I see a difference and thought about posting a picture but I'm waiting for at least my 20lb loss that way I can say I'm half way there!

That's great!!! Totally inspiring! How tall are you, if you don't mind me asking?

emd0019

Aww, thank you everyone. Your kind words mean so much more than my scale ever could. :flowerforyou:

nici88: I am 5'5.5". Gotta add that last half an inch on there lol.
My goal weight is 140 so I only have a little bit more to go

My stats are about the same as yours and I definitely feel the difference even if it isn't a huge number. My pants actually fit and some even too loose now and all my tops look much better. My energy level is better also. I'm 60 so my 147 pounds isn't as 'taut' as your 147 pounds, but it still feels great

apsmith51

Oh, and I just noticed that we are exactly the same height. 5'5.5"

That is crazy how most of our stats are the same :flowerforyou: and I'm sure you look awesome and taut too!
I love the way I feel and it just makes living life than much more fun! :happy:
