32lbs down with Pics... Halfway point.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share some pictures which throughout my MFP journey so far I've kept personal, I havent showed friends on here or in my world obviously because they were horrendous and I felt completely embarrassed.
I started my journey on the 1st Jan 2012. After having three children, two in the last two years I felt it was time to stop hiding away and face the fact that I need to lose weight.
I heard of this website through another forum and quickly joined ready to take photographs and measurements with a view to start my journey as a new years resolution.

To be honest, I had no idea I really looked like this, I mean lets face it you only really see yourself from the front. Yes I knew I was overweight but did I realise by this much... hell no. These pictures have motivated me to stay on track. Every now and then I flick back just to see how far I've come in such a short space of time.

I've lost a total of 32lbs so far marking my halfway point. I wanted to do a halfway success story to spur me on for my second half. As luck would have it, 3 weeks ago my boyfriend proposed to me and we are getting married next July 2013... what a goal to aim for although I'm hoping to be done by my birthday in July this year.

I have stuck to 1200 calories a day, I do the school run walking which takes up 1 hour per day and try to do at least x3-4 lots of 45 minute work outs a week. I am currently hopping in and out of Turbo Jam and I love it and not once have my feet stpped foot in a gym, its all done at home around my children.

I still feel really embarrassed by these pictures but when I look at the last one it all seems worth it in the end
