Down 32# total and 9# since Summer, with photos

I started MFP in December 2010, at 160#. A first it wasn't even about losing weight. I just wanted to be fit enough to run a 5K, the Warrior Dash in June in particular. But signing up on here, I had to put in a goal weight, and chose 135#. I reached my goal of being able to run a 5K in February, ran my first races in March, and hit my goal weight just two days before the Warrior Dash. I'm able to run a 10k now, but the one I registered has been cancelled and postponed twice now. It's jinxed!

Since then, I decided to go for another 5#, and lost that in about another month. Maintained about 130# through August, then decided. I'd like to get a little smaller and tighter for my Halloween party in mid-October. Priorities. I has them. :happy:

So my goal now is 126#. I have two more to go. But last weekend was very likely the last time I'm going to be in a bikini this summer, so I took a few pictures to compare them to the ones I have from last summer and the photos I took when I got my bikini in May. I'm happy to report I've had to tighten the ties on the sides of the bottom. Hopefully, it'll be adjustable enough to wear next year, too!



A birthday party last November, and at a baby shower last weekend. Yay for having the proper number of chins again!



Last summer before I binged on Halloween candy and gained another 8 pounds or so, and hamming it up last weekend.



Not as dramatic of a change, but 9# lost since I got the swimsuit in May to now.



My bum has gotten smaller.... little more streamlined in the thighs.



Flatter in the belly, smaller in the waist. And not to brag (oh, who am I kidding? I'm bragging!) but these were taken AFTER gorging myself on buffet foods and tons of goodies - cake, cookies, brownies, etc. - at a baby shower.
