38 pounds lost - progress pics

Posts: 61
Well here I am on the cusp of moving from obese to overweight. I started at 220 lbs and I'm down to 182. I don't have many pictures of me at 220 because I wasn't too fond of being photographed at that size. The 182 pictures were taken tonight, and though I'm not particularly proud of those either, I know I look and feel a damned sight better than I did 38 pounds ago. I'm 5'5, wearing size 14 Dockers jeans, previously wearing size 20s. I've been exercising and eating a calorie-reduced diet for 3.5 months now. I'm 30 years old. I attend a weight loss class at a gym 3 times a week that combines a variety of cardio and resistance training for an hour at a time, and I usually go once more per week and jog for 30-45 minutes. I eat 1200-1400 calories a day, aiming for 40% protein 30% carbs 30% fats. I sometimes eat back my exercise calories, but only if I'm hungry and/or anticipating a hard workout the next day. I have pretty consistently lost 1-3lbs per week. My goal is to reach a healthy weight (150lbs or less) before the end of July.
