30lbs lost, 20lbs to go! (With pics)

I've always been overweight, but last November I reached my heaviest wight: 175lbs, and I knew something had to change. At 5'2" I was beyond overweight, I was unhealthy. After walking up a flight of stairs, I would be out of breath. I felt terrible about my appearance. My measurements were 46-36-45.



So with my boyfriend's encouragement, I started small. First, I started changing how I at by limiting how many sweets I was eating, and exercising. The beginning was so hard for me, because I wasn't really seeing results and it was so hard to change old habits. But, little by little, the weight started to come off. I reached 161lbs in March 2012. And 150lbs in June 2012. But then I hit a plateau, and I ended up joining MFP as a way of getting encouragement, recording my calories, and tracking my progress. Fast forward to a little over a month later and I have lost five pounds and some inches too! I am now at 145lbs, and my measurements are 40.5-28.5-40. I only have 20lbs left to lose, and I couldn't be more hopeful!
