I am almost at my half way point but put on an outfit today that really makes me feel like it is working. I am 5'2" and almost 50.

I have been logging since February - every day faithfully. I have been on several business trips, a vacation to Disney and in that time frame I have learned there are good options out there and you can eat healthy where ever you are.
I walk 2+ miles 5 days a week and attend a circuit core class twice weekly. I have cut out a lot of carbs and just have done a lot of portion control.
Don't wait until the end of your journey to post here. Let's share how far we have come and not how much we have left to do!

My profile pic is the difference from start to where I'm at now, which is about 1/2 way to my goal...but when I get there, I may re-evaluate and see if I want to lose a bit more.5

Thank you all - I was hoping to get others to share their progress pics as well0

I am four months into my true commitment to change. I was hanging out with my mom the other day and she took the picture of me and the dog. She showed it to me and I commented on how much work I have left to do. She reminded me of how far I have come by looking up the old photo and showing it to me. She raises guide dog puppies and I have taken this same picture with other pups. I was frankly stunned. That was me at my heaviest weight and I literally dwarfed that poor puppy. What an awesome moment to be able to truly appreciate how far I have come. And it made me super excited about where I am going!!
HW: 250lbs-ish (too fearful to get on the scale)

I love those paint colors what color is that green in your kitchen?You look great by the way don't give up.0

Oh goodness, I don't know the color. I wish that was my house...my mother has such great taste. :-)2

My highest weight was 321 pounds. I'm currently 280 pounds. My ultimate goal is 170 pounds.
I had not been faithful To my plan. I lost those pounds with a combination of calorie counting and low carbohydrate diet. But today I am beginning To Simply countcalories and exercise and Faithfully log every day until I reach my ultimate goal.6 -
You look fantastic!

Great job! we need to be proud of what we have done so far and not fixate on what is left to do.5 -
Started at 229, I'm 5' 7". That photo was at 179, I'm 171 now. My original goal was 160 but I think I'm going to shoot for 140ish.

I have been at this a really long time, so I guess you could say I'm really taking the 'slow and steady' route lol. I started at 240ish and I'm right around 175 and from a size 18W to 10/12. My ultimate goal is 155. I'm 5'8".

Wow, I didn't even recognize it was you in the second picture. Great job! Keep it up! Slow and steady wins the race!8 -
Congrats to you! I am in maintenance but realized after your re-post to get others to share their progress pics as well that I would share in the hopes to motivate whomever I can. I have lost over 80 pounds from 235 to 152 but am currently maintaining around 165. I realized that the success is not only justified by a number on the scale and that the journey will always continue for me with new goals to set and meet and celebrate. I am currently working on gaining muscle, strengthening my core & focusing on being a healthy role model for my 7 year old daughter. Sorry if the images are hazy.

This is my progress so far. The before picture (left) was taken on 3/31/15 and I had lost about 25-30LBS. The after picture was taken on 6/21/16. I'm down roughly 60LBS. For the past 8 months, I've been gaining and losing the same 7LBS. I got lazy with my meal prep and logging, so it is now back to basics for me. I've worked too hard to stop seeing progress.
Thanks for starting this thread, OP. It's a reminder for me that even though I have a ways to go, I've come a very long way.
