6 months on MFP, 55 lbs lost!

Yesterday was my 6 month "anniversary" logging on MFP. I have lost 55 pounds and I'm feeling amazing! I've lost 8 inches around my hips, 8 inches around my tummy, 5.5 inches around my waist, and 6 inches around my chest. Started at 212, and now I'm 157. I'm 5' 2" so I still have about 20 pounds left to go to reach my goal. If it takes me another 6 months to reach that goal, I will be perfectly happy.
I am aiming for slow and steady for the rest of my weight loss.
50 pounds must be the magic number or something, because in the past few weeks everybody I see comments on my weight loss. I almost feel uncomfortable because it gets brought up so much! Don't get me wrong, I love that people are noticing and it makes me feel good, but I'm not used to the attention so I always feel awkward!
Anyway here's my "before" and most recent "during" pictures!

WOW!! You go girl!! I've been on MFP for s long time (this is my 3rd account), and I get motivation but then I lose it. This past month I was not feeling well. Was sick a week, had a double ear infection another week, bad allergies and an allergic reaction to seafood. July was just a crazy month for me. Im back though and ready to lose this weight. What kind of food did you eat?0
