Not even halfway there, but very proud.

Considering that just a few weeks ago, I felt so down and disgusted with myself and wondered how in the world I would ever make it down 10 pounds, much less anything more, I am quite proud of my accomplishment thus far. I started at 317 (or more, but 317 was the first time I weighed) and I am currently 284. My original goal when starting was 280. I thought, "I just want to get into my pre pregnancy clothes and that's it.", but as I started becoming active in the forums, gaining more MFP friends and losing weight, I became more confident that I could lose way more than that, so I decided to shoot for 75-100 lbs total.
I never took a before picture, as I didn't imagine I would even make it this close to my first goal, much less go any further, but I went to a family reunion several months ago and managed to get in to one picture. We also took Halloween pictures (a few pounds ago), so this is the best before/during I've got! Faces are blurred on my family, and I just don't like my expression in either as well I can't tell a huge difference but maybe you guys can. If not, change will just come in time. Good luck to all of you in your journeys. If I can do it, you sure as heck can.

ETA: journey this far=54 days
