*** Deep breath**** I'm REALLLYYYYY uncomfortable doing this... but I promised myself that when I hit 200 pounds lost, I'd post before and after pictures. I know all of you who post, inspire me to keep going... so THANK YOU! Also, some of my most awesome MFP friends have been hounding me to get some up...

I still have a ways to go, but I'm happy to be more than halfway to my goal. Like I always say... slow and steady wins the race. I'm in no hurry to get to my goal... this is a lifestyle change for me... NOT a diet... I've been on every diet known to man since I was 7 years old! This time, I'm just living my life in moderation... one day at a time. I'm still a big girl, so the full length pictures will have to wait... I have a hard time telling the difference in my body (I'm sure it's a mental thing)... there has to be a difference... you don't lose 200 pounds and not have a difference, but I look at myself and see a big fat blob. I'm sure that will come with time and confidence as I continue to lose.

Blah, blah, blah... on to the pictures:

I don't have any pictures of me at my highest weight (530 pounds)... I did not want anyone to take pictures of blobbified me... so the following are probably me at between 400 and 500 pounds:

If you can't tell which one is me in this pic... I can't help you!


The following are at 180 pounds lost... I've lost 22 pounds since these were taken:

About 130 pounds left to go... I'm excited for the rest of the journey!
