Finally Seeing Some Progress - 30lbs Down

Over the last 7 months I have lost 30lbs. I am really happy with myself for keeping at it and I actually like going to gym now and making an effort to eat well. When I was carrying extra weight I don't think I was able to see how heavy I looked and likewise now that I am slimmer I have struggled to see the changes. I have just realised how important it is to take photos as it is a great way to see your progress.

The first picture is meet at 170lbs and the 2nd image is me now at 140lbs. I am only 5'2. I can finally see how my face is changing and it has given me great motivation to keep going to my goal of 125lbs. I have had plenty of cheat days along the way and I am sure there will be plenty of more but I know I am going to keep going and get back on the wagon everytime. I am a total foodie and love cooking so I actually don't minde if it takes me a little longer as I am in this for the long run.

Each morning I check the new success stories on here and it has really helped me to keep focus and want to say thanks to all the MFP community.
