I began MFP on 8/5/13. The first picture was taken just a couple of days prior...I saw it and YIKES! Something needed to be done ASAP! Lol! The 2nd picture was taken on 9/30/13 and 20 lbs down. I still have more to go, hopefully I will hit my goal by early Jan. :smile:

    Wow! Way to go.
    I wish I had many starting weight pictures. Good that you have this to really show the difference.

    Thank you all so much. The first pic is not the real me. I hated being like that. But because of that first pic, I take a photo of myself every 2 weeks wearing the same dress....I won't post those. Lol Those ones are either right before or after a workout, no make up, hair is crazy....don't need them to look any worse!

    Thank you all so much!!! :happy: In 5 days it will be 2 months for 20 lbs. I'm on a 1200 calorie diet, exercise almost daily, and water has been my new best friend. Maybe the water is making me look younger? Who knows....but what a wonderful thing to hear just before my b-day! (I will just have to lie about my age now.) :wink:

    This is my first time EVER posting public before/after shots of myself, and its hard for me to see a difference just yet, besides in my face... but here it goes!! Lets hope this works :);)
