edited September 26 in Success Stories
So, I have posted a progress pic in the past, but this last week I officially hit 50 lbs lost since my heaviest weight and I am VERY close to 30 lbs lost since joining MFP (which happens to coincide nicely with the start of the school year, which is how I have been measuring my weight loss progress) I am starting to feel a little complacent since I am starting to feel good about where I am, but like the title of this post says I still have about 50 lbs left to lose, so I can't lose steam now!!! My sister is getting married at the end of September and I think I have been really motivated by the fact that I am by far the biggest girl that will be in the bridal party since my sister, cousin and my sister's friends are all skinny minnies! That's been my motivation. My original goal was to be just 10 more lbs down by her wedding, but since I have done so well the last few months I am thinking I may want to up it to 20 lbs down. I dont know... I dont want to stress out about it, but I want to have something to keep me motivated. Anyway, here are my pics! (I really hate the before pic!)

here's me at my heaviest a few years ago:

And this is me as of Wednesday:

    You look like a completely different person! - You look amazing & healthy. If you focus on a small goal, like 1 lb a week, I'm sure you will look & feel even more amazing by your sister's wedding. Congratulations! - Your hard work has paid off. :)

    Thank you all!!! I feel like a different person! I was not happy with myself at that weight. I had broken my leg and was in grad school so I was depressed and stressed and SUPER sedentary. In fact, the weekend I broke my leg I had decided I was sick of my weight and needed to do something about it, but that's not what the universe had in store for me. I gained about 30 lbs in just a few months. It was so ridiculous. I managed to lose about 15-20 lbs on my own. I got down to almost 30 lbs lost, but then got content in my current relationship and got ALMOST back up to my high... That's when I decided I REALLY needed to do something about my weight.

    Now I am starting to feel like myself again. I am starting to feel like my body looks like I almost always felt it looked. I have 40 lbs until I am back at my lowest "adult" weight... I was probably 19 at the time. But it's do-able! :)

    This site and all you help so much with this journey! Again, THANK YOU!
