Hey all!
Im Sara..I started my journey here in Feb 2011 and am very impressed with this site!!!! I have a lot to loose and I had a wedding I was in at the end of July..that was my first Big goal....
Now 2months later.. I have been cheating myself lately...Havent been with it...so I am trying to find my motivation to get back in the game! I started looking thru old pictures and found two that were so similar but WAY different and lets just say....IM TOTALLY EXCITED!!! I have lost 36lbs since starting in Feb and have maintained it since the end of July but now Im ready to loose more!!!

So here are the pictures....Can you tell a difference? =D

    I have actually read somewhere that it is better for your body to readjust once you lose a considerable amount of weight. So you maintaining for a couple of months has probably done your body good.

    You are looking great btw, amazing progress

    I know what you mean about losing motivation, you suddenly forget why you are doing it and need a pep talk, I get that every few weeks. 36lbs is briliant to loose since Feb and it definately notices on your phots. Just keep focused and remember what it was like before you lost the weight. I have just set myself little goals of loosing 3 lbs and then I am giving myself little treats like a new pedometer, a new sports top. Hope this helps and keep up the good work.

    I can definitely see a difference and applaud you for getting back on board. I have only been on MFP for 15 days and it has helped me tremendously with tracking everything. I wish I had found this site sooner!

    Keep up the hard work!

    Good job! All that hard work paid off!

    Motivation tip: grab an old piece of clothing that used to fit you perfectly and just try it on and wear it around (if you can, haha).
