So close to the 50 lbs mark! I know on here my ticker says like 28 or so, but that's since I've started here in May. I lost an additional 18 before I started here, so 46 lbs since January of 2009.

I moved just before starting, so a lot of my friends haven't seen me almost 50 lbs lighter...I hope to get rid of more, and to be able to visit and wow them all maybe this summer!

    I say change your ticker :flowerforyou: I started MFP in May 2009 but had lost 20+ lbs before that. I changed my ticker to reflect my actual weight lost.

    50lbs is amazing :smile: Congrats!!

    I'd say change your ticker too. I lost about 25 pounds before I joined this site and I just had to put all my weight lost on there. It's so much more motivational to see almost 50 than almost 20... lol. Plus, I worked HARD to lose it, so I figured I deserved it.
    Congrats being so close.. I'm right there with you.. just 2 more pounds!!

    I did change the ticker...why not? :laugh: I did the work, I should get to brag about it! :drinker:

    I'm down 57 lbs since my highest ever...just another 5 lbs and I'll be at the lowest I can recall in the last 10 years I'd say.

    i did the same thing -- went in and put in retro weight loss, since you can change dates, etc. I wasn't getting credit for lbs since i started my diet in november, but didn't actually start on here untyil late december .... it's great! Take credit for your work!

    Congrats: I too started dieting this Dec 2009 and here we are Feb 2010 already... I have lost total of 17 pounds since then...but since i have been at mfp 10....Good idea on changing my ticker....I did work for every last pound after all. You are Great motivation...I see what you have lost in a years time....I can't wait to see what I will weigh this Dec 2010. You should go and visit those friends and show off your new body ---You deserve it...
