48.6 Pounds Gone Forever (with pics)

This is my first time posting pics so I hope it works. This is the first holiday season in YEARS when I feel like I am not the fattest person in my family. I began my LIFESTYLE CHANGE (never thought of it as a diet) on May 4, 2011 at 240.5 pounds and a size 18/20 (okay, maybe sometimes a 22). My initial goal was to lose 80 pounds but I'm over halfway there now and I think I may end up changing that goal. It just depends on how I feel when I get there. I have 206 consecutive logins on MFP and many hours of working my *kitten* off at the gym and I think I can see a difference. Can anyone else?
