amazing job. keep up the good work. you have a long road ahead, but you will reach your goal!!

wow, great job!

amazing! keep it up! I cannot stress how important photos are...even if you feel silly taking them, you will thank yourself later!

I am between 5'3" and 5'4" and my starting weight was 200. I am now at 173. Check out my profile and add me for support if you'd like!

congrats, that is awesome!!

this is awesome! so proud of you for making the right decision!!

holy cow lady, that's awesome! i should try insanity, but I'm afraid it will be too intense :)

I HATE thigh holes!! They used to always happen with my jeans. I'll be interested to see if they occur less this winter, I hadn't thought of that plus :)

that is awesome news!! congrats and keep up the good work!

thanks! the dress is from the "wedding shoppe" in minnesota.

Oh yeah, and I need to shout out to the Eat More to Weigh Less group-I have lost all this weight without starving or depriving myself :)

I tried to fix the sizing, hopefully it worked! I am 5'3", and today was my 75th day on MFP! I have had my good days, great days, and not so great days.

darn, my second set of photos is too large...hopefully this works?

Way to go!!! You're gonna be smoking hot in the bridesmaid dress!!

I think both of them would work perfectly, but the second one feels more like summer!

Thanks everyone!

Unfortunately i did not own a measuring tape when I started, so i don't know! But, I did lose about 15 pounds that first month. I just bought a measuring tape this week and took all my measurements for the future.

Oh, and unfortunately I did not take measurements so I am not sure how many inches I lost. I purchased a measuring tape earlier this week so I will be able to track that progress going forward.

congrats, you have done an amazing job and look great!

Aww thanks! It's funny because he doesn't seem to notice quite yet (at least he hasn't verbally said it)-most likely because we see each other day in and day out.

Thanks everyone! Mainly, I feel wayyy more confident! I am not sure what size clothing I really should have been wearing, but I was squeezing into a size 16 pants. Now I am in size 12. I had to exchange my size 14W wedding dress for a size 10. The bridesmaid dress I was sized for a couple months back is completely falling…

way to go! you look great!

Gee, thanks. I've done that now. However, I would like to know why this is happening, hence the question.

Yikes. I really hope it's not something like that. Did you go in for an allergy test, or just through elimination diets?

Here are some updated photos after an additional 5 pound loss. 20 pounds down total!

Love my wine too...Gotta say your best bet is cutting down to half of what you drink each week to start. So, if you have a couple glasses every night, switch to M, W, F, S. Then if you can, your 2-3 most stressful days. I stick to the drier wines, and make sure I fully enjoy it. If I've had a particularly hard day at work,…

Great job! We have a similar starting weight and a similar end goal weight! So happy you were able to make healthy life changes!

I am just floored because I had no idea 18 pounds could make that big of a difference...and it's only been two months. I almost wanted to request an 8, but then got nervous I couldn't get that far down and would end up paying a ton for alterations.
