I started at 347lbs on Jan 12, 2012. I am currently 294 lbs!!
Today is one of those days where you need to celebrate what you've done so far bcuz the road still seems very long!! lol
I was a size 24 (honestly should've been a 26 but I was in denial... lol) Yesterday I tried on a pair of jeans at LB and I fit into and zipped up a pair of size 20's!!! It doesn't seem like something to celebrate to some, but I'm thrilled!!! When I went to put them on I thought, "these pants are so small!!" and they pulled right up!!! I was amazed... true pride came over me and I almost cried!! My hard work is slowly but SURELY paying off. They fit but I can't wear them yet, they gave me a pretty good muffin top so I bought them and plan on wearing them within the next month or so!! lol
It has been five months since I started, dropping lbs is so exciting and motivating at first, but once you've made the changes and you've been doing it awhile the excitement fades a little. I'm glad I bought those jeans bcuz they are a small goal I know I can achieve and keep myself motivated for. One day, one meal, one good decision at a time!!

Congratulations on your weight loss, keithserika. You've made monumental progress; it is especially noticeable in the torso. The clothing size victory must make you feel good, too. I know that I get a thrill when I put on an old outfit and it fits again!
You have a very healthy approach to your weight loss - one moment at a time - that will serve you well on your journey. Good luck!0 -
I can see a HUGE difference! Well done!0

You are doing an amazing job and an inspiration to all. 53 lbs is a huge loss and the road may seem long but at least you have less of a "load" to take down that road. Keep up the great work!!0

Great job! You look fantastic!0

You are looking so much smaller! Good for you. I have bought clothes that don't quite fit me and used them as a motivator and measure of progress. It's a great feeling when you can wear them well - and an even better feeling when they get too big!
Keep up the great work!

I needed to read this and see these photos today. I've been having a pity party over not losing any weight and being exactly where I started 4 weeks ago when I first logged into MPF.

" You look great, thanks for the inspiration!0 -

Great job, I can really relate with the pants thing. When I started out I was a 22 (really a 24 but also in denial) . The road is long ,but you have a LOT of support on here. Keep doing what you're doing, you'll be at the end before you know it ! 0

Thats amazing, well done you! I have fallen off the wagon the past 3/4 months and have put on nearly a stone so I need to get it back off. I have a hectic weekend coming up that's already planned so I am going to enjoy my final fling and start afresh on Monday - you are an inspiration - very well done! x0

Congratulations! WoW, your photos show a significant difference. Thank you for sharing.0

Good job! You are very inspirational and motivational! You look so good! You can really see the difference!0

I'm really happy for you! Don't diminish your success, it's amazing what you've accomplished! It is really noticeable. I've only been doing this for a month now, and sometimes it does feel very slow, and I feel a little discouraged too, I've only lost 7 lbs, but you're right - one meal, one choice at a time! Keep up the good work!0
