guess it's time for progress pics....almost 20lbs down

I was reading someone else's post earlier about their progress so far and how it was hard for them to look at old photos because they were ashamed but decided to do it anyway and ended up being very pleased, so it encouraged me to do the same.

I didn't take pictures in the beginning of my journey because I was embarrassed, even though I knew it was a good idea to see where I started.
Well, thanks to my mother, I do in fact have a picture of me RIGHT before I joined MFP.

I didn't have a lot to lose, my goal was about 25lbs. I lost quickly at first but after 15 it slowed down a lot.


So here's me in July 2011 right before joining MFP at 150lbs





And here's me now March 2012! 131lbs




My point-looking back at old photos isn't such a bad idea, especially when put next to recent photos!



p.s. sorry the pics are so big!
