Photos that motivated me to kick my own *kitten*!I

I added pics to my profile. The ones on the bottom row of me in a blue jumper shocked me. I also saw pics of me at a friend's wedding in early January and those were so shocking I deleted them from my friend's phone !
The other photos are of me at various weights but my main motivation is the one in the black dress and black boots. That's a size medium Hoss Intropeoia dress that I'd love to fit into again!
I've lost just under a stone now and have about 4 stone more to lose! I'm a size 18 now and want to get down to a size 10 UK.... If I'm not mistaken, a size 10UK = size 8US?
So, there are no after pictures sadly but I want to be fitter than I've ever been in our life. Mind you, I've never been physically fit before-- I always lost the weight with diet only. Now I'm doing exercise and nutrition but it seems to be much much slower. I'm attributing this to my age (41) and how much damage I've done to my body yo-yo dieting so much in my life!

I get it! My pics...third top row was my heaviest. All the rest were within the last 6 months. I'm most proud of the second row, blue shirt taken August 2009. It is a body shot, still over 200, but one I was actually pleased with because I could SEE I was changing.
Patience. You WILL do this!0 -
Your story rings a bell the video of my wedding last October and feeling self conscious on my honeymoon in Egypt did it for me along with I'm due to be a nan in July and didn't want to be known as 'fat' nan! I'll put my before and after pics up when I get to my after stage! Good luck!0

I completely understand! In December I got together for a mini family reunion, and I wore an outfit that I thought made me look really good. Then I saw the pictures....and I was horrified! That weekend I found the MFP app for my ipod touch and have been counting every calorie ever since. 15 pounds down so far! You can do it too!!! This site is fantastic and it really helps to keep you accountable. Good luck with your goals!!0
