Since starting MFP in June I have lost 30 pounds, 8 1/2 in. off my waist & 7.5 in. off my hips.

I stood on the scale yesterday while carrying my 7 month old and I weighed in 10 pounds lighter than my starting weight...talk about perspective! People sometimes ask, "How are you doing it?" My answer is sooo simple, "I'm just counting calories and trying to exercise." And it really is that simple. That being said, it doesn't mean it's easy. Like everyone, I have good days and bad days (sometimes it's more like bad weeks). But what's important is that I make it a point not to beat myself up over eating certain foods or skipping a work out. I may not be as buff and "cut" as I may sometimes like to be but I feel great!

I still have another 13 pounds to lose to reach my initial goal weight (and I think I may be able to lose even more after that). I've definitely had a slower weight loss rate the last couple of months but I fully expected that. I also know these last 13 pounds will not be easy but I am actually looking forward to this next phase. :drinker:

Shout out to all my MFP friends, you all are rock stars!!! ;) Here are my pics!

    You look awesome right now! Don't forget, in the long run your goal is not how much weight you can lose, but what weight you can maintain while having a healthy, sane and sometime fun lifestyle!!

    Great progress!!! Thanks for sharing! You definitely give me hope....especially since I now know that I am not the only one that has off days (or weeks)!!! I was wondering if I should still expect at least small results?! My bad days aren't often...but still! So thanks again for sharing!!! WTG!

    Thanks! What's funny is that I hadn't even noticed my arms until after I posted this! Wish I had been taking that measurement too. :)
