Still Going (But What Progress I Have Made)

I am half way to my first goal. This is also the first image that I am posting in the boards. I see it when I look at pictures, but I wish I could see the difference when I look in the mirror.

The first pic is from April and I am about 285 lbs.

The second pic is from last night (I don't dress like a Wench everyday. LOL) and I am 242 lbs.

I am 5'9" (Just adding that because I always want to know when folks post pics)

The reason I am doing this today - a friend that I hadn't seen since the beginning of summer (before I started losing weight) did not believe that my pic was really me and had to see it with her own eyes. So this morning at 9 a.m., there was knock on my door. :noway: But it was an awesome visit and long overdue.

    Thank you. I know I have a ways to go yet, but this is the smallest I have ever been in my adult life.

    And I got kind of excited seeing the difference last night :)
  • photos are sometimes all the proof I had to get me through! I notice a big difference! Keep going!
