51 lbs down....ONLY 31 to go w/pics

So I wanted to share my progress this far. It has taken time & patience to make changes and realize I am doing this for myself and my health. I didn't expect to get on the scale yesterday and see what I seen. 171lbs??? I haven't seen that in 8-9 years!!! That made me wonder if there was a difference in the way I look from where I started. So this evening, I had a friend take a picture of me, not the most flattering shirt but I couldn't believe how much of a difference I could see! I don't think I have a picture of me at my highest weight of 222. The first picture was taken in Jamaica while I was on a cruise....that's the only reason I have a picture. I have always ran from cameras since I gained weight but now, I am feeling more comfortable with myself, I am not so camera shy!

This is me in Sept 2010, I think I was at about 204 at this point.


This is me today, one day after I weighed in at 171.
