    Finally got around to taking an almost full body shot of myself since I've crested the 50 lb lost mark. I'm not quite at goal, but I'm pretty darn close and I thought I would share.

    It's been a fairly long trek, but I'm in it for the long haul, and the knowledge I've gained is well worth the wait. I started actively trying to lose weight in October of 2011 and I weighed 194 lbs. As of last week, I weighed 140.4. I'm hoping to see the 130's soon!

    With no further adieu:

    ETA: I forgot to include pertinent specs: I'm 30, 5' 1", and I net between 1200-1400 a day (more when I was heavier). Starting size was 18 or XXL, current size 6 or M/S



    Geeez- Why can i Never See the pictures?
  • Way to go!! Thanks for inspiring us!

    Congrats! You look great. I second whoever said that you look much younger. I'm hoping to have a slim waist like you one day in the not too distant future!

    Thanks, I feel ten years younger! Keep working, the waist will come. I didn't think I was going to have a waist again after having a kid, and it's not as defined as it used to be, but by god it's there!

    This is great motivation for me because we are about the same. I started at 186 and my goal is 130 5'2". When i look in the mirror, its hard to see change. So, thank you for posting this!!

    Thanks for all of the kind words. I must admit it was a little hard to post the 'before' pic. I'm working on not cringing every time I see pics from when I was at my heaviest. I need to embrace both who I was and who I am.
  • Great job keep up the great work.
  • Fabulous job!! :)

    I started before you and with less to lose and I'm still in the 150's. I'm quite envious. Great job!!! By the way, your profile pic looks like Christina Ricci.
