A small milestone with face pics in profile

I do not know how to get pics on here so if anybody can go into my profile pics and do a side by side of the pic of me in blue T shirt and the one in the sweater I would much appreciate it.
Anyway a few years ago I lost almost 30 lbs and sadly gained most of it back. I saw a few pics of myself and couldn't believe I let it go that far again after such hard work. I got away from entering the food on here and figured I knew enough to assume I was eating around 1500 to 2000 calories per day. I was apparently very wrong because it was 5 lbs then 10 then 15 then pretty much all of it right back on. I was very disappointed in myself.
January 6th of 2014 I started back at going to the gym 5 to 6 days a week and eating 1400 to 1500 calories per day and actually tracking them again. I have lost 20 lbs in about 7 weeks. A few people at work started to notice and that made me feel good but I didn't think it was much of a difference until I took one today and put them side by side. I really hope to have a few more to post down the road. I have a long way to go but my next post will be in 20 more pounds.
I appreciate reading everybody's success stories on here and I go to it daily for motivation so thank you all for posting!

Your story sounds VERY similiar to mine. I started back on this journey mid-January and I've gotten 13 of what I had gained back off. 12 more to go to get back to where I was and then even more to get to my goal weight. :-) But I think I finally have the right combination of calories in/calories out this time!!0
