Reminding myself to keep it up & never go back

Ive been having a rough time sticking to my logging (still exercising like an addict and eating okay, but not monitoring my intake well) and I wanted to remind myself where I came from 7 where I am now to hopefully get myself back on the wagon for the last 15 lbs. I am 5'10...
This was me October 2009 at about 230---I always knew I had gained a lot of weight with my kids (my son would have been 8 months old at this time) but I almost died when I saw these pictures!
and this was me last weekend at about 185 when my BF and SIL and I took a pole/chair dancing class (which was OH SO FUN!)
I still have another 15 pounds to go, but Id like to think Ive come pretty far and if I can lose the first 45, then I can lose the last 15, even though it will be a lot harder. I can persevere!

We're the same height - and i too reached 230 when I was pregnant!
My daughter is now 2 1/2 and I'm down to 197.......I'd really like to be 170 though - so still some way to go!!!!
Good luck.0 -
the pictures are very tiny, its hard to actual see.
but even with them that small you can see that you have lost weight.
Congratulations!0 -

You have done amazing. I feel the same way when I look at pictures of myself. I can't wait to see myself in 6 months. I know I will look so much better. Thanks for the great story!0
