Ok so I promised myself when I hit 20 lbs lost I would post my before and during pictures. I started this journey on my own at 185lbs. I gained 7 lbs in 4 weeks while I was sick and decided that that was the last straw. I lost 4 lbs before I found MFP. I found that I wasn't eating enough calories on a regular basis most days I was eating less the 900 cals and on the weekend I was eating way to many calories. Since I joined MFP I have been eating at least 1200-1240 cals a day and trying to eat at least half of my exercise calories back. I have been losing about 4-9 lbs a month since. I am currently at 160 lbs and still losing. I still have about 30 lbs to go, I will see how I feel when I get closer to my goal. These pictures are from when I started on MFP I don't think I have a picture from before then because I just don't like taking pictures...

I'm posting a link because the picture is a bit big

    So cool!

    Just wondering, how do you add all those pictures together like that? When it comes time for me to do a before and after, I want to put two pics side by side like you. How do you do that?

    I used photoshop but you should be able to use any photo editor even the one that comes with windows I think...

    Thanks. I will say everyone is different depending on your body type. You may be seeing better results where I am not. You can see in my picture I have big legs and that's where I fail to see much if any change...
