So, I won't bore you with the details upfront. Just know that I am posting this for myself as well as others. I have had sooo much inspiration from the success stories... thank you all!!

Lately, though, I've hit a rough patch and needed to see some of the progress myself. Wow! was I surprised! If I can help others too, then all the better!

I'm down 26 pounds since I started MFP (which is not all that much considering how long I have been around here) due to many factors, blah, blah, blah. Yet, from my (recent) highest weight, I guess I have lost over 30 pounds... with another 45 lb to go.

Hope these pics work...

sorry, not so good with the sizing and full images in the collage :-(

    Congrats on your progress!

    I started at 238 and I'm now at 217 at 5'7", I feel like I'm losing my motivation already. You give me great hope.

    Thank you for sharing.

    Fantastic - I have similar stats but haven't been taking photos, so it's really encouraging to see the difference. Brava!
