Need some motivating pics

Before:



Me on the right



Now:





I'm in the middle.

Started around 160, now i'm around 115. The before pictures I am probably around 150ish, I didn't take many photos when I was around 160

I started MFP about a year ago at 170 lbs and I'm down to 130 now. Here are a couple of pics, though not very good to really show the results because you can't see my full body in the after shot. My profile pic shows me at about 140 lbs. MFP has really helped me to count calories and keep track of my fitness. It definitely works.

Before:


Now:

I still have quite a journey ahead of me, but I'm 10lbs lighter than when I started. So, I'm happy with my success thus far, no matter how small it is. ))


Pic 1: 4/14/12 - About 188lbs - Wasn't quite motivated yet. Not much difference between Pic 1 and 2.




Pic 2: 5/20/12 - About 185lbs




Pic 3: 6/12/12 - About 177lbs

Amanda, my weight went up and down a lot over the years.

This time I started around 145-150lbs..

it took me about half a year to get down to 115, maybe a little longer.

I saw it as a slow gradual change and nothing too drastic, slow and steady always wins the race

Don't be impatient about your weight loss just have the mentality of "Hey, at least I'm not gaining weight and every pound counts!"
