Almost there (pics)

Thought I'd share a couple of pics. I'm not quite at target weight yet but I've lost a significant amount of weight. I guess I'm posting these because I'm a total foodie, I love food and am addicted to chocolate and never thought I'd be able to lose much weight. This has been done without depriving myself for the most part. I still eat chocolate, I still go for Chinese food or pizza now and again but I log everything and behave myself 90% of the time :)
I'm a relative newbie to MFP and have to say it's so much easier to stick to it now I'm logging on here and have my MFP buddies to cheer me on.

I don't have many before pics, I hide from cameras. So this is me a few years ago, I don't know how much I weighed then but my highest was 15st (210lbs) I think I was about that on here.

And this is me a couple of months ago at 150lbs. I've lost 9lbs since then and am aiming for another 8lbs. It's a bit fuzzy but it's the only long shot I have.

    Most people hide from cameras because they are ashamed of how they look.

    I say, GO OUT THERE AND TAKE SOME PICS, WOMAN! You're looking hot, and have nothing to be ashamed of! Good job on the weight loss! :)

    You look great! Well done so far and good luck for those last 8lb!

    I'm with you 100%. I still treat myself now and then, but I log everything, because at the end of the day, you're only lying to yourself if you don't. I'm good most of the time though, and I guess that's the way to go - I never thought I'd be where I am now, and it's made my goal seem so much more attainable!

    I also don't really have a before pic. I've been looking for one, because I'd like to do before and afters when I reach my goal, but I've been hiding from the camera for so long it's proving difficult!

    Add me if you like :) Always happy to have more friends

    The difference is amazing!
    That's a really dramatic change.
    It's amazing that when you see someone regularly,
    you know there is a difference but you can't realise
    just how big it is.
    Thanks for posting those. You really are my insperation

    On and off about 2 years. I lost about 2st (28lbs), then moved house (and country) and kinda stopped focussing on it for a while. I was off and on dieting for a few months and lost a couple more stones really slowly. Then I found this site and it's keeping me motivated to stick to it properly. Back on track now :)
