I have been feeling really good about my progress lately, so I thought I would share, and hopefully somewhat inspire even if only one person.

I got really serious about MFP in April 2012. I started at 267 lbs at 5'10". I am now at 229. Still have a ways to go, but I am pretty confident that I am about half way there (still not sure what my ultimate goal is :) )

I was getting ready for my lunchtime workout and noticed that my stomach is looking much better! Snapped a pic! I was also very excited that this is the first progress photo that I have taken and not sucked my tummy in. yayyy (I was totally sucking my tummy in in both my "before" pictures, believe it or not...) If you want to add me, feel free! The more the merrier :)

    Same here! I think it all depends on how your body holds your weight. Mine does it pretty well, but I think the OP's does it better!

    You look great!!! I judge my progress by my belly too, but so far it doesn't seem to have budged :/ You have definitely inspired me!!! I can't wait to get to 40 lbs loss :)
