55 lbs gone. with pics

I began my journey in January 2011. As of today I have lost 55 lbs. I am still a long way from my goal, but I am feeling productive and starting to be able to see the changes - physically and emotionally. To those of you just starting or struggling, don't give up. If I can do it - a certified couch potatoe, junk food junkie - then anyone can. It just takes some will power and a realization that there will be good days and bad days. Some days you will be succesfull and some days you will need to start over and practice again!



This is me at my heaviest. My guess is around 340 lbs and a size 30/32. I didn't dare get near a scale back then! This was taken in December of 2009. I didn't start my weight loss journey until Jan of 2011.



This is a current pic. I am now at 279 lbs. I am wearing size 24 now.
