The have lost a total of 40.4 lbs so far. I started this in August of last year...right before my 32nd birthday. I weighed in at 191 when I found this website. My highest weight was 206...at least that's the last time I stepped on the scale. I am now at a weight I haven't seen in over 12 years...3 kids ago. I am now so close to hitting the 140's I can taste it! Tastes like chocolate.
Anyway, the following pictures are my journey so far.

First is me in May of last year. I believe I weighed in the range of 195-200.

This is me today. I weigh 150.6 as of this past Wednesday. Sorry for the blur.

I still have about 15-20 lbs to go but I'm going strong. It took me forever to get into this state of mind and now that I've been doing it for almost 7 months I can't imagine quiting!

Thank you everyone for all your support. Seeing your photos has helped me stay on track!

    Thanks. I'm not sure if I should be happy about this. I stopped getting carded for cigarettes and alcohol about 3 years ago...when I started getting MUCH larger. I plan to get my hair done in about 5 lbs. Wonder if I'll start getting carded again? lol
    I'm only 5' so that doesn't help either!

    Thank you everyone! I'm glad I'm doing it right this time. I'm averaging about 1.3 lbs a week. I eat what I want but I think I finally have down this moderation thing so many people speak of. You know, that "one serving" rule? I actually abide by it now. I still have sweets but I choose better when it comes to them.
    I've also learned that Skinny Cow ice cream is just as good as "regular" ice cream. lol
