Fiftieth birthday and 52 lbs gone

I turned 50 today. I've been on MFP since January 2013. I have a lot to lose, last year's 6 month plateau seems to have broken. I hit a few milestones this past month, Onderland and a 50 lb loss. I'm finally buying some smaller sized, more form fitting clothes as I'm finally seeing the difference. I still don't see it in my face so I took a picture today and dug one up from Oct 2012. There's a 52 lb difference, maybe a little more, I wasn't hopping on the scale back then. Now I see some difference in my face. Still a long way to go, but I'm glad I'm finally seeing it myself.

Hoping the attempt at posting a picture works.
