39.4lbs lost progress pics!

Hey all! So I've lost an additional 10lbs since my goal weight and am LOVING the new me!!!

Let me start by saying why I decided it was time to lose weight. I was always skinny in high school under 110lbs and size 2. After moving in with my boyfriend and a full time desk job I shot up to 180 in 2006. I got pregnant and the day I delivered I weighed 215. I lost weight fast after I had him without even trying. I ended up being around 147. We then got pregnant with our second son and I weighed 185 when I had him in 2008. Thinking I would just lose the weight like I did before I didn't change my eating habits. I did manage to get down to about 165. In late 2009 my father became very ill and passed away May 16, 2010. I was so wrapped up in everyone and everything else but me. I shut myself off to any feelings and my marriage was getting rocky. I managed to gain weight and I wasnt happy. Then on 1/2/11 a friend on Facebook posted this support group for her to lose weight and she was using MFP. I logged in and on 1/3/11 I decided this is time for ME. No one was going to make my life better but ME. I was going to do THIS!!!! And I haven't looked back since. I started weighing 180lbs. I began logging everything I ate and working out using the Slim in 6 video. My daycare lady then told me about a fitness center that was mostly women and only had classes. And they had ZUMBA which I wanted to try forever. I started taking Zumba then added more classes and now go to a class 6 days a week. I love it there! I have signed up for my first 5K and can't wait to do more.
