I've lost 40 pounds since the beginning of July, but honestly, to me, it feels like all 40 pounds came off today, when I put these two pictures side by side. I was living in some sort of dream world before, because I had no idea I looked so overweight! It was the number on the scale that scared me, not what I saw in the mirror. But, whatever the reason, I am so happy to have made the decision to come to MFP. The support I have gotten here from everyone, including my two sisters, two cousins, co-workers, and many other 'virtual' friends, is what gave me what I needed to keep on going! I have about 20 pounds left to go, and I know they will be the hardest, but with you guys, anything is possible!!!
