Hello all!

So the other day I was feeling kinda down about my weight loss. I feel like I've been working towards weight loss for years now and sometimes I just feel like I'm moving at a snails pace. BUT alas, I found my before pic and decided to take an after pic to check for any differences. I feel pretty good about it! Even though its only 15-20 lbs difference give or take I think its enough to post my very first progress post!
(sorry if the pics are big I tried to resize them..)

This is July 2013 - around 178lbs

And July 2014 - hovering between 159 and 161lbs

Other stats....
I'm around 5'6'
I did a couple months of boot camp last summer which was the first 10 lbs. Recently I've been riding my bike, hiking, and doing some yoga.
I try to hit 1400cals but sometimes i'm more like 1600. My dedication with logging every bite comes and goes depending on the week but I always come back to it.

Good luck to everyone else!!:flowerforyou:

    Nice work and congratulations! It can be disheartening when the scale doesn't move as much as you'd like, but your photos tell the story.
    Keep up the good work!

    Such a good move to take a picture early on. 20 pounds makes a HUGE difference. And you have the pictures and that is more worth than a 1000 words or our negative thoughts. :) Really smart.

    I have been getting busy with before pictures. I am down 17 pounds and feel so different already. I'm obese, 230 pounds, and my clothes are so baggy from losing 17 pounds, and My BMI went down a couple points. I was right on the edge of severely obese! Now I am happily moving down and down the obese toward the overweight :)

    And it took work and consistency to lose 20 pounds. You aren't even very big. That is harder than for someone like me. Really good job!
