6 months progess

So I started 2/12/14 and gave myself a goal of 40 lbs in 6 months. I thought that was aggressive but possible. I didn't make it. What I did was stick with it for 6 months, lost 38 lbs and over 17 inches from my arms, chest, middle, hips and thighs. So I'm okay with not hitting that 40 lbs mark, I will. And I will hit my goal of getting to a healthy weight too.
Stats:
42 years old
5'5.5"
SW: 211
Measurements:
arms 15"
chest 42"
waist 39.5"
hips 48"
thigh 26"
CW: 173
measurements:
arm 13"
chest 39"
waist 35.5"
hips 42.5"
thigh 23"
Here's what I'm doing. I get up 45 minutes to an hour earlier than I used to so I can exercise before work. I do this 5 days a week. I usaully take at least 1 of the weekend days off, sometimes both depending on how busy our weekend is. I also take my dog for a walk after dinner. I try to do that everyday but it ends up being 5-6 days a week. I track my calories on here. I haven't given anything up. If I want pizza, I'll have it but I try to limit how much I have by eating lots of veggies with or before. I try to keep my sweets to 150 calories a day but that doesn't always happen
Here are a couple more pictures. One is from last summer and the other from a few days ago. I'm wearing the same outfit.

The second set of pictures really shows the change.
The shirt wasn't tight on you before, but now both the shirt & pants are definitely loose. :drinker: :flowerforyou:0 -
Well done! Congratulations!0

Very well done. Not only can I see a big difference in your weight, but also your posture. Your "after" pictures...you just "stand happier" if that makes any sense, and you hold your head up rather than level or down. Congratulations!! (and your hair looks awesome too, that cut really frames your face nicely)!0

Brilliant! Not just lighter but happier. You looked young in your before pic but I think you look even younger after the loss. Well done.0
