20 lbs sometimes doesn't seem like a lot but then I remember that's half of what I want to lose! :happy: I've never been this organized with my weight loss and I think that's a big part of what's helped me, so thanks MFP!!! I've got pictures comparing to last summer (when I was working out a lot but not necessarily eating very well and was 150 lbs) and from right before I started my lifestyle change and now. And let me just say... I think my plateau is officially over because today I weighed 161, which is what I weighed on my birthday (4.12) before I drank a ton of alcohol, got a visit from TOM and went up 4-5 lbs. I can't wait to see a lower number at the end of this week! *crossing fingers*

If you can't tell... the top is baggy and I could barely keep it up (on the same knots it's been on since last summer and my booty barely filled out the bottoms!! I may still have a ways to go on my belly but I was proud that I just MIGHT have to get smaller bikinis this year!

November 2009 (unknown weight; 180 a month later) -

[/i]I can really tell a difference in the way this shirt fits me. My boobs used to BARELY fit in them and I could really fill it out. Now I can actually breathe in it. :bigsmile:[/i]

I feel so good today, I'm just wearing shorts & my new sports bra I bought Saturday. :bigsmile:

    Congrats on being half way there!! You look great!

    I just started this a few days ago and think that tracking everything I eat is going to make a big difference in my weight loss goals. I can't believe how fast those calories add up!! Guess that's why I've packed on so many pounds in the last few years.

    In a few months, I hope I can have the same post as you!! Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:
