Down 50lbs! W/pics

Hello all! I would like to start off by saying I have struggled with my weight my whole life, continuously fluctuating up and down. At my highest (in the picture on the left) I was at 216 lbs. I was miserable, nothing fit me and I found myself crying a lot for no reason. I realized I am an emotional eater and enjoy eating late at night. Over the past three years I have been plucking away at my weight, only becoming serious about it within the past 4 months. I am down to around 166 pounds! I try to eat more veggies and fruit, as I enjoy all kinds. I also try to drink more water, eliminated soda, coffee, and tea from my diet completely, and try to run at least 3 times a week. My runs are never anything too intense, more of a jog and only for about twenty minutes. I will sometimes do zumba workouts or use an elliptical but I much rather jog outside. This is just a stop on my journey as my goal weight is somewhere between 135-145. I have never been that thin my entire life so I will have to see how it looks the closer I get! I should add that I'm 5'9 so I carry my weight much differently than a person who is shorter than me.

Congratulations! You look great! We are a similar height/weight - I am 5' 9 1/2" and started at 220 lbs and after 8 months of tracking in MFP I am now at 167. I too have fluctuated with my weight my whole life, and I am an evening binge eater. It's hard for me to see my own progress when I look in the mirror, so seeing someone of a similar height and weight is very motivating for me!0

This is just what I needed to see today! We have almost the same starting and current weights, but its always easier to see progress in someone else. You look fabulous, girl!0
