Making progress and feeling proud of myself (Pics)

I joined MFP on March 15th, 2011 at a much lighter than usual 167 pounds. But this was not the beginning of my weight loss journey. It started January 1st, 2010 at the highest weight I'd ever been in my life. 198 pounds. I'm a mere 5'4", so that is a pretty large number for me. I have a few health conditions that helped me simply say to myself that there was nothing I could do to get to a healthier weight. And because of this mindset, at 27 years old, I'm being faced with the possibility of having to take cholesterol medication. I'm already on beta blockers (for a heart condition, not because I have hypertension), and taking metformin (for PCOS, not diabetes). I'd hate to be on yet another medication for an indefinite time during my life.
Through all of these trials, I have found it in myself to change my habits. Today, I'm feeling very pleased and accomplished. Though I am nowhere near done, I wanted to show off my progress.
The first 2 here are from June 2010. I weighed about 190lbs and wore a size 16 jeans.
This one is from 2 days after I joined MFP. I weighed 167 lbs, and was in a size 12 jeans.
And Finally! These were taken today, just a little while ago. 160 lbs, size 10.
Hope you all enjoyed my little story. I'm ever so glad I found this community and it's amazing support system!
