edited January 20 in Success Stories
As of today I have logged for 60 consecutive days. I've lost 16lbs in these days while on MFP, and I've lost 20lbs since Jan 1st. 44lbs since Jan 1st of 2012.

2/20/2013 stats:

15" Neck
35" Waist
42" Hip
183lbs

4/11/2013 stats:
14" Neck
32.5" Waist
40.5" Hip
168lbs

I know 16lbs isn't a whole lot for a "success" story, but to me, this is an amazing defeat for me. My metabolism was once as slow as an 80 year old granny, and I have it almost back to normal after being off of medication for two years.

I am aiming for a goal weight of 150-155lbs, and so I am within 13lbs of my target range now. I'm also starting to be able to see a LITTLE definition in my chest/abs at the top, and slight definition in my arms. It's quite exciting.

    You started not long after me - I just posted a thread with a 14 lb loss in 2 months - funny how when we see the pics side by side, we feel a little silly b/c the difference is so apparent - you look great!

    Do you mind if I ask how tall you are?

    I'm 5'9" / 205lbs right now (20lbs down so far). My GW is near 165.

    Great job! Was that all based on diet or have you been exercising?

    The first month I was walking a lot and lifting a little, but this past month I have been so swamped with my heavy college course load, I have only gotten exercise from what I do with my friends (i.e. hiking, ultimate frisbee, backyard football, etc.)

    That is very exciting! Success story worthy. Any progress is better than no progress. Great job! Keep up the good work.

    And a NSV for today...

    I went to get a new pair of jeans and I actually fit comfortably into size 32" waist. That's down 4" in jeans now.

    Edit:
    Ugh. Had to move the pictures, and I can't edit the first post
