Hi fellow mfp'ers!

As of today I have been on MFP for 6 months! I haven't lost a dramatic amount of weight like some of the awesome success stories I've read on here, but I am heading in the right direction. I've lost nearly 30 lbs since joining (I had lost a little over 20 before that, including all the weight I had gained during pregnancy). I've posted the first picture before but I'll include it since it shows my old update pics.

Starting weight on MFP: 265
Current weight: 238 (as of last week)
Goal: 140

I have never been able to stick to anything weight-loss related before so I'm very excited to have met this benchmark. Here's to the rest of the journey!! :flowerforyou:

First pic (far left) is when I was 35 weeks pregnant, 2nd pic is when I was at my pre-pregnancy weight (I hadn't gained a whole lot), last pic was taken a month ago I believe)

These next two pictures were taken within the last few weeks :)

    Thanks! I hope by my 1 year anniversary to be down some more weight, but I think more than that I would like to be able to run 5k. :) Even as a kid I couldn't run very well, so it would definitely be an accomplishment for me!

    Amazing job, you and I weigh the same and are losing at the same rate, keep up the great work. Btw, I love the outfits, you are so beautiful. I have 5 kids myself, I totally understand the daily struggle to lose the weight after pregnancies. Keep up the excellent work, feel free to friend me if you like.
