I have my down days, but I'm so proud of myself!

I've been doing rather well! I intend to keep going but thought I'd post a pic and see what everyone thinks of my progress so far! I don't take many photos of myself (due to my weight) so the before picture is over a year old...I probably weighed around 240. I started actively losing weight at about 237lbs in September of this year. I've lost a total of 45lbs so far (19 of them on my ticker there) The after picture is at 40lbs lost!

My goal is 150. I'm now at about 192! I know I can do this!

    WOW.....45 pounds in essentially 2 months! How did you do it....please share the secret to your success.

    I'm plugging away but losing only about 4-5 pounds a month. I'd love to know how you were able to lose ~20 pounds per month! Do tell.

    You look great by the way...

    Thanks everyone! I'm so proud of myself for finally getting the nerve to do this! I've not been skinny (that I can ever remember) and I really want to experience a life with less restrictions!

    No real secrets here. I cut out carbs for a month and dropped so much right away!

    I have PCOS and I guess that was affecting my ability to burn fat as my body was storing it for...i dunno....the apocalypse? cause i darn sure do not need it now!

    I did start off on a reccomended diet from my cousin (it was approved by her doctor) that started off consuming only very lean meat/protein sources for like the first week. then started adding fruits and veggies....so on.

    BUT....I have decided that a low carb lifestyle is just working for me....plus eating less bread really cuts a lot of calories out!
