Six months in - almost halfway to my goal

I've only been on MFP for a little over a month, but I would say my journey towards better health started about 6 months ago when I started my new job after a period of unemployment (and a very sedentary lifestyle). My new profile pic shows me on my first day of work, and again yesterday. I've lost six pounds so far, but I've also had to have 5 holes added to my belt (the end of the belt reaches almost a third of the way around my waist past the buckle).
