Half way to success

On sept 25th 2012, I decided I was done eating whole family sized bags of chips, a 12 pack of coke and a pound of candy as an evening snack. I was seriously depressed, somewhat suicidal and just, a lump. We've been a gluten/dairy free family for awhile and I've seen the changes a clean diet can help make, so I decided to give Paleo a try.
BEST THING I EVER DID FOR MYSELF. Not even counting the weight loss. Depression, gone. anxiety- better. Health, much improved.
But then there's the weight loss which is helping all of the above immensely. I'm not at my goal yet, about half-way but I wanted to share anyway.
Looking at these pics, I didn't even realize how bad I'd gotten, no wonder I sat on the couch eating chips all day :/
I hope I have the strength to continue.

Anyone want to share their progress pics with me?
*feel free to add me, love new friends*

    :P
    I was horrified when I took the before pics. Seeing it on the screen was... traumatic. Now I'm almost proud of it :P
    I hope I get to follow you along your journey!

    Great results already, well done! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    (I know when I posted my pics one was missing half my face - if you right click on the photo and "Open in new tab" you can see the whole picture on the new tab).
