Progress so far (Pics)

yes this is a very noticeable difference - congrats! keep it up!

So I have only dropped about 7 lbs total since putting my foot down on my weight gain in April. ...

Well first you have an amazing change in the works here, great body shaping so far and 7 pounds is still 7 pounds. But, why doesn't your ticker reflect that?

Thank you, and my ticker doesn't show it because I found MFP after I had initially dropped the weight, I was using spark people before but I like the tracker's on here better.

Ah. Well I was in the same situation then I realized that you can alter your starting weight on the ticker. It changes your first day weight on the site, and therefore shows a ridiculous change in weight from then to your next weigh-in but I figured "so what." I wanted my ticker to show me what I was accomplishing from when I started getting serious about shedding the weight (which in my case was only in May :happy: ) so I changed it from the 290 I was when I found MFP to 311, which was what I weighed on May 16th about a month earlier.

ETA: I just realized, and fixed mine, that you can put in entries from further back, so I added my start weight and waist measurement from 5/16 and fixed my 6/13 (my first day here) back to 290. The ticker is right and so is my history.

you're doing awesome!!!
