    So inspirational, thank you! I've hit a plateau - no movement in the scale in any positive way since February - so I am stuck around 163, your 2nd last picture. I want to get to 148, but having major motivational issues and feeling defeated. Thank you for helping me to feel there is hope! You look awesome, the changes are awesome! :D

    That is why I like to share! When I first started, I stalked the success stories boards when I was feeling depressed and like I couldn't do it, and they picked me up and made me feel like I could do it!

    I am so glad to help you!

    awesome job!! How many months did it take you to lose 20 pounds and how'd you lose it? :)

    awesome job!! How many months did it take you to lose 20 pounds and how'd you lose it? :)

    I lost my first 20 pounds in exactly two months. I ate 1200 calories a day and exercised 4 - 5 days per week. When I plateaued after the first 20, I realized I'd been under eating thanks to these boards, and then upped my calories to BMR. I still work out 4 - 5 days per week, but now eat back more exercise cals than before.

    And about 20 to go!

    I started my journey January 2, 2012 after seeing the first photo from a wedding I attended in December. When I finally hit 20 pounds down, I pulled out the same outfit to see my progress, and was shocked! I decided every 10 pounds I will track my progress by throwing on the same wedding outfit so I can see how far I have come!

    I think I can see a difference between the 20 and 30 pounds lost mark. Obviously it is not as drastic as my first 20 pounds lost, but I think it's there!

    Since January, I've gone from a size 14/16 to an 8/10. I went from a nearly 38 inch waist to a 30, and 46 inch hips to 39!

    And all I've done is use MFP to be honest about my eating and portioning, and kicking some butt at the gym. It's been SO worth it. I just ran my first 5k last weekend, and I feel better than I have in YEARS. If I can do it, anyone can.

    KEEP STRONG, MFP'ers! I'll update you in another 10 pounds! :)

    This is amazing, and sort of what I've been doing.

    I went to an event in late November last year, and a few weeks later saw a picture and was horrified! I wore the same dress to an event last month after losing 15lbs, and I decided every 10lbs or so I'll take a picture of myself in it.
