51 pounds actually!! Pay no attention to the goals in my signature. I just put those there to have something to work toward later. 50 pounds was my true first goal. My older brother was very skeptical about me actually losing weight. He told me that he'd believe in my efforts once I hit 50 pounds. Well.... TAKE THAT! Whoo!

Sorry, no pictures. :( You'll have to wait for those. I can't see a difference at all, so I don't want to post them...

    Awesome! 50 pounds lost is an amazing milestone! I'm sure if you posted the pictures we would see a difference! I can't believe that you can lose 50 pounds and not be able to see a difference. Keep up the good work!

    Let's see.... Checked my weigh-in list and I entered my starting weight on 2/22/10. So... 21 weeks? Is that right?

    Fantastic!!! If you cant see a difference, get naked in front of a mirror..the mirror never lies and you will see it and be so impressed with yourself! I don't know you, but you are awesome! Just pick up a 50lb weight and you will not believe it! You will say to yourself..I can't believe I was carrying that around with me! You Go Girl!

    The simplest way for you to see the 51 pounds lost is to put on clothing that was snug before or fit fine, and see how it is too loose now. Regarding how many weeks, that will be an average loss of ten pounds per month, as of July 22. Impressive! I have had an average loss of five pounds per month. You are doing fantastic, and I can't believe your brother would say something so hurtful to you. He must have insecurities himself to make him say something like that. Keep up the good work and be happy with yourself. :flowerforyou:
