    Just thought I'd update, 20lbs loss still but I got a handy dandy measuring tape. The scale is a lie!

    You are getting really good results. And ya, the scale lies all the time.

    Great Job! @hmikkola92 You can see a huge difference. I love that you added a before picture too gives you/us great motivation. I wish I had pics of me before looking like that :)

    Here's my progress so far 39 pounds down halfway to goal on my ticker this morning so I took pics, not much difference in the straight pic but a huge difference from the side!

    What a difference!! I have been up and down in weight all my life, so I remembered how annoying it was to try to scour for before pics. I take a pic about once a week now, even the tiniest difference feels so good to see.
    Great job!

    Thank you :) I had planned to take pics every 20 pounds, I was 1 pound away this morning figured it was close enough lol I wanted to see for myself what the difference was if any, my clothes haven't really felt much different, except the shirt today was tight 2 months ago and I'm swimming in it today, thought maybe it was a fluke HAHA, so I wasn't sure it would be noticeable, but I was pleasantly surprised when I put the 2 side pics next to each other :)

    This is my goal...I've never been flat tummy/slender thighs thin, but this is about 165ish (and ten years ago...so if we could turn back time, that'd be great too) I felt good, healthy, and confident here.

    Yeah I was about that size too, which is my goal. I wasn't slim but I think I was around 150-60 in my pic above. I'm 5'7. My goal for now is 170 but I hope to go down to 140ish eventually. I just want to be able to chase my son around :)

    It sounds like the 3 of us are all kinda in the same boat. I'm almost 5'7" and my initial goal is just to get under 200. My realistic goal is to maintain between 160-170. My dream goal would be to maintain between 140-150.

    I thought I was "so huge" in high school when I weighed 190. But looking back at pictures, I looked pretty great. I would be comfortable there, even!

    Good work everyone who has shared progress pics. I wish I had thought to take photo's a while back. It's hard to see day to day changes in the mirror.

    I got some snaps about a month ago along with a comprehensive set of measurements. I find changes in physical measurements more compelling than weight fluctuations. My plan is to repeat every month or so to help keep my motivation up.

    I find that measurements are the most satisfying way to track progress. The scale being the least. I actually see no need to use the scale anymore because I've lost so many inches during the times I don't lose a single lb. And lol @AlexandraCarlyle :D I know how you feel
