Halfway there! (Progress pics, 5'4" f)

maeganhaha

Today, I officially have an "overweight" BMI instead on an "obese" one! I am ecstatic as this probably hasn't been the case for me in many years. To celebrate, I decided to post some progress pictures. I'm halfway to my goal (I'm a 5'4" female looking to get to about 140 pounds) and I couldn't be happier! I've basically been overweight my entire life and it feels amazing to be working towards something I've never known before. I'm even running my first 5k in two weeks.

Before (I can't believe I actually thought I looked okay... one is from last summer, the other is from this past Christmas)





And now, the DURING!





I started off at 210 pounds, I'm now at 174 pounds. Started MyFitnessPal on January 1st, 2012, paired with occasional exercise/running. Not done yet but I'm getting there! I hope these can help inspire you a little, just like all of your progress pictures have inspired me!

Congratulations.
You did look cute in those earlier pictures, but you look so much better now.
And imagine, if you look so good now, you're going to look really stunning when you reach your goal.

Well done! And thank you for posting your pictures. I was having a down day and needed some encouragement.

Well done! Your start and goal weights are the same as mine, and I'm at around the same point you are at too so big coincidence there! I don't think I have starting pics, I did too good a job of avoiding those. Your work is paying off, keep it up :-)

I'm so glad you posted this it helps to encourage me to keep pressing towards my goals. I've lost 15lb so far and I've got 65lb to go. I need all the encouragement I can get because i still have a long way to go and I'm learning to celebrate the little successes along the way.
