3 Halloweens - 30 lbs lost (pics)

Options
So I started my weight loss journey when I hit 170 at 18 years of age and was told my BMI was officially in the 'obese' category. (I'm 5'3" tall.) This shocked and disgusted me, so at college I started swimming, then joined the crew team etc. Plus, I started trying to eat more healthy foods. I plateaued in spring of 2010, then gained 10 pounds back. This August I started using MFP and I'm down to 139.2 pounds. My goal is 135 pounds, at which point I'll re-*kitten* and see if I still need to do another 5.

Still, I'm pretty proud of this progress! (I'm in my pants from the spring of 2010 again, plus I'm hiking and biking constantly and love it!)

Pics:

About 170 pounds, age 18 (I'm a computer):

    The codes were wrong. At the end of the picture link, you need [/ img] and it was just [ img] (without the spaces)
