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.

**Crossing fingers** Please let this work, please let this work. LOL
