I'm a little bit nervous about doing this but my weight loss has stalled so I thought I'd have a look at some old pictures. I took a couple of snaps yesterday. When I get to goal weight (27 pounds to go) I will post proper before and after shots.
So here goes...
I started at 192 pounds on July 31st 2010... and I'm 5 ft 2 in. I deleted photos when I was this big.

This is me at 188 ish in June 2010 (see how I try to cover up with a pink cardigan!!!)

Ok so a couple of months later in August 2010 and I was 185 ish. Felt like a big balloon at my friend's wedding.

And this is me now at 146 (sorry for poor quality photos but did them really quickly). I have 27 pounds to go to get to my goal of 119 but I have lost 46 pounds.

I have a way to go but I am so much happier now and I will never go back to what I was.

If anyone is reading this post for motivation... KEEP GOING. IT IS WORTH IT. YOU ARE WORTH IT.

    :bigsmile: AWESOME!!!:bigsmile: You look awesome and years younger too!:flowerforyou: Keep up the good work! Unfortunately the smaller you get the harder it is but you can do it. And if you feel good about yourself now that is the most important thing! It may just take a little longer to get to your goal weight. Again you look great!

    Thank you so much everyone. I say that from the bottom of my heart. I could not have done it without all my fellow MFPers. You guys rock!

    Big love from London xxx

    My god I'm almost speechless, that's amazing!
    I have to say not only does your figure look great but so does your face; you look much younger.
    Gotta be proud of yourself for that, congrats (:

    Ok this is how I am doing it (hope it helps):
    I log most things BUT if I'm out for dinner I don't log but I don't go crazy. Same for weekends. I started off being obsessed but I am more balanced now.
    I only drink about once a week or so and only a glass or two of wine.
    I am doing the 30 day shred and pilates. I do a bit of running, a bit of wii, a bit of walking but I try to do 30 mins minimum per day. I mix it up so I don't get bored.
    I broke up with my boyfriend who hated me going to the gym and who loved to go out for dinner and drank lots.
    I went to a hypnotherapist and listen to her recordings a few times a week. She was the one who got Lily Allen to lose weight - you can buy her CDs on Amazon. Her name is Susan Hepburn.
    Most of all, I use MFP every day - for inspiration, logging, tracking exercise. I love it!

    wow, you look amazing! I started about a month ago and didn't do so well after we had a blizzard and we were stuck inside for about two weeks I actually ended up gaining! But I restarted today and let me tell you your pics are really motivating! I am a little scared I won't stick to it, because I don't know what all to eat, but I am gonna try my hardest to do this so I can look as great as you!
