~NSV~ measurements (bonus pic!)

Posts: 254
So, I've lost 41 lbs in the last year and a half. I took some time off to try and maintain during busy times with work and school). I know this is major loss, and something to be really proud of, but sometimes I look at my reflection and think I look exactly the same as I did at 220 lbs! Yeah, yeah, it's totally illogical but, that's what my brain for ya... anyway, I recorded my new measurements today and wanted to share them as motivation and a reminder that sometimes I can't see my own change in the mirror and that I need data and numbers to convince me that I'm different now!
note: some of these dates are really funky, because I started MFP two years ago at my highest weight and didn't get serious until just over a year ago... anyway.....
