I started my weight loss journey the day that my husband deployed in February. 5 1/2 months later, I think I'm done! I'm having surgery next month to remove extra breast tissue from under my arms and after that, I'm planning to switch from maintenance to a heavy lifting program, but for now, I am going to make the transition to maintenance.

My husband should be home for R&R in 4 more months and I can't wait to show him what I've been doing since he left!

    Look at your tiny waist! And what a great idea to document the photos side by side. I'm just starting, so I hope you don't mind if I copy your idea. It was inspiring!

    love the progression photos...congratulations!

    I have to ask - did you intentionally wear the same outfit in different sizes or did it just work out that way? LOL I'm so nosy, I thought it was a really dramatic way to show the weight loss though. "Here's what this outfit looks like at this size"...and so on. Anyway, what a neat story! Will be looking for the update in a few months!

    It was sort of an accident LOL. When I needed to go to the M size, I decided to buy the same so that the pics looked more uniform. That and the other colors of the same shirt were awful. One was what I like to call 'highlighter yellow' - so not flattering!

    Thanks, guys! I seriously could not have done with without MFP and all of my wonderful MFP friends who have been so wonderful and encouraging. Having a goal and support has helped me stay sane over the past 5+ months!



    Also, I look like such a tool in these pictures. How do people get such good pictures of themselves in the mirror???
