Okay so I know a lot of people post on here about how they lost a whole lot of weight.... I am not one of those people. I know 16 lbs for most isn't inspiring but I saw how I looked in this sweater this morning and was so excited.:happy: I don't know if you are going to be able to tell a big difference with the pictures I chose but I wanted to put these up here so maybe I won't let myself backslide.:embarassed:

Before around 158-160

And here is one of my dog enjoying the sun this last weekend while I was studying

Like I said I am by far no inspiration but I put these up here more for myself than anything.

    Definitely inspiring to me and probably to many other people that have just started MFP. I just started Monday and I will probably post pics every 10 pounds lost. lol. But you can see a difference..... congratulations!!!

    You look great and yes, you can tell a difference! 1lb down is better than 1lb up so 16 down is a big accomplishment!

    Aww, thank you everyone. Your kind words mean so much more than my scale ever could. :flowerforyou:

    nici88: I am 5'5.5". Gotta add that last half an inch on there lol.
    My goal weight is 140 so I only have a little bit more to go :smile:

    My stats are about the same as yours and I definitely feel the difference even if it isn't a huge number. My pants actually fit and some even too loose now and all my tops look much better. My energy level is better also. I'm 60 so my 147 pounds isn't as 'taut' as your 147 pounds, but it still feels great :)
