So it's been quite a hard slog, especially the last 10 lbs or so, but I've finally hit my target of 39 lbs lost! To celebrate this I thought I'd post a before and after pic for you all to enjoy, as I've found everyone else's pictures really motivating and inspiring.
The first pic was taken at 168 lbs last summer, before I started in August. The second pic was taken yesterday at 129 lbs, not the best pic but I hope you can see a difference!

    Wow thanks for all of your comments! i've just changed the before pic to one that is hopefully a bit smaller, as I'm really not loving seeing my 'before' face in all its enlarged glory!!

    To answer your question - I changed my diet in August, and kept a proper handwritten food diary until Christmas when I discovered mfp - much easier! All I've done is reduce my portion sizes, and cut down on things like cheese which I tend to get carried away with, and alcohol. I didn't even really do much exercise until the last month or so, when I wanted to start toning.
    Anyone can do it! good luck on all of your journeys :)

    Good job! You can definitely see a big difference in your pics! I've lost 9 lbs over the last 3 months and 23 lbs total since January 2010. Since joining this site I have lost 3 lbs in 2 weeks! Logging in my calories and excercise is definitely helping me to stay on track and reach my weightloss goals!
