NSV and pictures of my journey

I had a NSV yesterday...I saw a friend I hadn't seen for 2 years for the first time. I ran up to him and gave him a big hug. He tooka step back and said "DAMN! You've lost weight...you look great!" He got an even bigger hug after that!

I am 24 years old and 5'8" and when I started this journy I weight between 175 - 180lbs...I don't know for sure which or even if it was more but 175lbs was what I weighed the day I logged into MFP for the very first time. I didn't own a scale so that is occording to the one at walmart that i stepped on to just see. I had seen a picture of me in high school, and was astonished by the way my pictures looked now compared to then, and how my pants from high school didn't even come close to buttoning around my mid section. Here are the pictures of my journey. I hope it inspires some. I am now in the "healthy" weight range for my height, but I would like to either lose about 10 more pounds or tone up for my wedding day in August. After my wedding I plan on staying on MFP to contiune to maintan that weight.
