I started MFP at the beginning of May 2011. It's slow going for me, due to PCOS and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, but it is coming off, just slowly. I'm averaging around 1 lb. a week. I'm now 9 lbs away from my first big goal and should reach that within a couple more months. After that, I'll set a new goal. I am currently at a weight that I wasn't sure I'd ever get to (and have never been at before as a healthy adult). I've lost 43 lbs in total, as of this morning. I've gone down nearly 3 sizes and no longer shop in the plus size section. I'm working out more than I ever have before and oddly haven't had the issue with tendonitis that I used to always have while working out.
Driver's license compare (this was 8 to 10 lbs. ago)
Another face compare:
A full length compare (not the best before photos though). One before was at my baby shower last January, but I was NOT pregnant. My kids are adopted. The other before is the day we came home from Korea with our youngest son, in February 2011.

Wow, you're doing amazing.
My best friend has asked me to be maid of honor for her wedding in April 2013 so I started back exercising last week. Giving myself plenty of time to lose the weight.0 -

I hear you on the whole PCOS thing. It definitely makes it much harder to lose than someone who doesn't have this issue, plus with the hypothyroidism on top of it. You look great!!!0
