30 pounds lost....pics

i have been overweight my entire life. My husband is a huge inspiration to me when he went from 313 to 210. He's still working on his weight loss but he looks incredible and is so much happier and healthier. We lost our first child in 2006 two days after she was born. That certainly put me into an uncontrollable depression of eating and more eating. After we had our second and third child I was ready for a change. Our family is done growing so it was time for me to start shrinking! I had gestational diabetes and high blood pressure while pregnant each time. I started MFP at the end of July 2011. Since then I've lost 30 pounds and I couldn't be happier. I'm healthier and looking forward to having a more active, happier and healthier life with my husband and two children. Thank you to MFP and all of MFP friends who offer amazing support. I still have a long road ahead of me with losing weight...I've got about 75 more pounds to lose...but for the first time in my life...I know I can do this. I've gone from a size 24 to a size 16w and I now can wear XL t-shirts!
