Today, I officially have an "overweight" BMI instead on an "obese" one! I am ecstatic as this probably hasn't been the case for me in many years. To celebrate, I decided to post some progress pictures. 
I'm halfway to my goal (I'm a 5'4" female looking to get to about 140 pounds) and I couldn't be happier! I've basically been overweight my entire life and it feels amazing to be working towards something I've never known before. I'm even running my first 5k in two weeks.
Before (I can't believe I actually thought I looked okay... one is from last summer, the other is from this past Christmas)
And now, the DURING!
I started off at 210 pounds, I'm now at 174 pounds. Started MyFitnessPal on January 1st, 2012, paired with occasional exercise/running. Not done yet but I'm getting there! I hope these can help inspire you a little, just like all of your progress pictures have inspired me!

You did look cute in those earlier pictures, but you look so much better now.
