So, I wasn't going to post any before and after pictures. Mainly just because I don't like pictures of myself. ;) But also because I am having a hard time seeing the difference. I obviously know there is a difference, but I still see a big girl when I try and take 'after' photos. But a friend told me I should put them up. So, I am doing that. :)
I still have another 20lbs or so to lose. But I think I've come a long way. My highest weight was about 260lbs. I am now 175lbs.
I started on MFP at 203lbs. The first 50lbs was lost over the course of 5-6 years without doing anything. I wasn't on my journey than. My journey technically began at 203lbs. And that is all healthy eating and exercise.
The before picture was me at 233lbs. And honestly, I knew I was over weight, but I have no idea I was THAT big. I was shocked when I saw the picture.
Thanks for looking everyone! :)

    You look amazing! I hope one day real soon you can look in the mirror and see what's really there and not what you think is there. I know that mental adjustment is hard, but if feels so good to catch a glimpse of yourself and think, 'wow, is that me!? I look good!' :)

    It is just you are not used to this gorgeous woman you have turned into. You keep seeing your old self in the mirror, but she is gone. Forever!! You look so wonderful and one day very soon, you will look in the mirror and tell yourself how totally awesome you look and you will be so very proud of yourself!! You are in inspiration to all of us!!
