Started in November at 5'6" 185lbs. Looking back at these pictures I didn't realize how big I had actually gotten.
BMI: 29.9 only 0.1 from obese! :ohwell:

I'll start with the befores:
At a friend's baby shower in October 2011

My sister and me (didn't realize how chubby my face had gotten)

And my absolute least favorite picture. It was Halloween and the red lipstick just makes it even worse (I was trying to do my make up a little over the top, it looked bad though)

And now the PROGRESS pics!

A face comparison, me on 5/9/12

and a body comparison, this was me today (5/11/12) just a few hours ago

I'm at least 30lbs. from my goal weight but I'm happy with my progress so far so I thought I'd share a few photos! Let's hope all the photos work! :flowerforyou:

    I see pics of me and think, "what a bad angle" or "I shouldn't have worn fleece" because I looked so big. It took me a while to finally admit that it wasn't the angle or fluffy clothes, it was just me! :( I started at 180 (only 5'3 though) and have just started seeing a difference in my clothes with the last 5 lbs.

    You look great! What all are you doing?

    Same here. It didn't help that the last 20lbs I'd gained happened in 2 months so it was really sudden which made denial easier! I really just started noticing a difference in the last few weeks as well.

    I don't do anything crazy, I just try to pay attention to my calories. I exercise when I need to or have the time, the elliptical, riding my bike, or taking walks are my favorite. I'm trying to get more into exercise this summer though!

    I had a lot of set backs, especially in the first few months (Thanksgiving, Christmas, just general falling back into old habits). I only lost like 4lbs until Jan. or Feb. and then the rest has came off since then!

    You look so amazing! Awesome, awesome, awesome job! I hated seeing my pictures and always hoping I didnt look fat only to be disappointed. Your face and cheeks have been transformed and your body is looking so much stronger and of coarse leaner! When you hit your goal weight, people better watch out! :)

    Thanks! That's definitely where I lose first! I am a pear shape and my upper body always slims down first!

    Not consistently, but I'm trying to change that. I do the elliptical the most but I'm starting a new exercise routine for summer because I have a lot of work out dvds collecting dust that need to be put to use! Thank you for the kind words :)
