6 months on MFP - almost 50 lbs down - pics

So, I've been doing this for half a year - 26 weeks, and I'm down 49.5 lbs. I've got a pound to go before my goal weight of 210.

How did I get here? Eating better, running, elliptical, and doing EA Sports Active (2 and NFL). Don't think I could have done it without MFP!

So I want to lose that last pound by the end of the year, and then it is time to stop breaking it down and start building it up - more strength training to add a bit of muscle. Not sure if I'll ever rock the six-pack, but I definitely want to be more fit.

So, here's the progression pics:

And my chart:

Here's hoping the next six months are as successful as the first six months! Thank you all, especially my friends, for your steadfast support and awesome examples!

    Looking good! 2012=Refinement mode. I bet you can rock the six pack. I didn't think I would either. But it's magically starting to appear. So now I'm ALL about the six pack.
