I am at my halfway goal from 215 - I am currently 165 and steadily working towards a healthier weight of 120. Unfortunately, I never took any pictures of my starting weight, but I have saved my starting pair of jeans. Thought I would share with you! It's crazy when you are still overweight after such progress, and you don't feel different, until you see a picture like this.

Keep your eye on the prize!

    Great job! I started at 390 and a very tight size 24. I have lost 32 pounds but I am still wearing those 24's. I can't wait to see that size 12. Thanks for the inspiration!
