So it's official, I've lost my first 50lbs. *Does a Happy Dance* I'm always on here looking at the before/during/after pics and I finally feel like I can put some up of my own so here goes....

I found this picture today on my friends facebook that I absolutely loath but it truly shows how far I've come. (I have no idea what's up with my hand.... :-/)

This is me a little while after I started at around 263lbs. My Start weight was 272...

And this was me earlier today!! (Not exactly the best quality, I took them in my bathroom on my phone but I was so excited I couldn't wait!)

I still have 70-80lbs to go but I'm very happy with my progress and I had to share! Thanks MFP and all you great MFPer's that keep me going!
