I should probably wait to post pics until I am further along in my weight loss journey, but I am just too excited to wait! I am a little over halfway to my goal. I started out at 187 in November 2010 and am currently at 160. So I have lost 27 lbs, and have 25 more until my goal of 135. It is pretty hard for me to post this "before" picture as I HATE the picture, but I know that here on MFP we all have the same goals and are here to support eachother, so here goes!

The before picture is actually not at my highest weight (187); it was taken around 176. So this comparison shows about a 16 lb weight loss. I still have a ways to go, but I am so happy with my progress so far!

Thank you to all my MFP pals! I can honestly say I couldn't do this without this site and the support from you all!

**Fingers crossed that I can get the picture to post!**

    WTG! Pics really help confirm what you are feeling inside - that you are working really hard and it's worth it!

    I very much recommend taking pictures! Day after day, I felt like "Gosh, I dont see any difference", but when I pulled this old picture back up I could see it. It really is a great motivator to see that the hard work really does pay off.

    :flowerforyou: Congrats! I know what you mean about posting those pics but I realized I HAD to post them - no photoshop, no finding the pose that made me look thinner - REAL so I could face reality and get real about losing the flab.
    GREAT work!

    Keep up the good work!!! :happy:

    When people post like this I kick myself for not taking any before pictures. Now I'm in the middle and I've lost a bunch so it'll only tell a fraction of the story when I get to the maintenance weight.

    I sort of feel the same way! You will notice this picture was not taken at my highest weight and I regret not taking a picture then! It is near impossible to find pictures of me when I was at that weight as I HATED being on the other end of that camera lens!
