Finding Old Pics.... (93 pounds lost!)
Looking through my cousin's Facebook, I found some pics I'd forgotten about. It was a heck of a time for me! It's amazing to see how far I've come health-wise, both physically and mentally. 2 years ago I didn't care about anything and now I do. My personal life has improved, my work life is better and my health is…

86 pounds lost...almost done!
Today, for the first time, I fit comfortably into a medium blouse. As I couldn't fit into the largest misses clothes by a long shot when I started this back in July, I'm quite chuffed. :happy: So, last year I looked like this: Today, after over a year of watching my caloric intake and hitting the gym, I looked like this:…

One year and 76 pounds Gone! (pics)
I never thought I'd be here. I've posted here with smaller successes, but they seemed so far away from where I needed to be, I couldn't even think about it. I had no idea that 76 pounds later I'd still want to lose more weight because I knew it was possible and that I really *could* be a smaller, healthier person. :D In…

54 Pounds Lost!
And they aren't coming back, darn it! I've got another 20-30 pounds to go, but the light is at the end of the tunnel and I'm excited! Since July 2012 when I started, I went from a size 22/24 to a 14/16 now. GoalSkirt 3.0 is a size 12 which totally blows my f**king MIND. I'm 5'8" and I run, lift heavy (currently a week into…

48 pounds later, my face is back!
All this time, I'd been looking at my body. I didn't realize until tonight that my face had changed! And even then, I didn't see it until people said something about the recent pic :bigsmile: THIS is why I'm taking pics along the way!

Almost halfway to goal with pic!
35 pounds gone! I've got another 45 to go, but I'm quite happy with how things are going :D I've been doing this since July with a 500-600 cal deficit from my daily TDEE that I keep track of with a Fitbit. I also do heavy lifting with cable machines/ barbells and do cardio on a treadmill. I'm 5'8" for those that are…

The 10 pound difference
I've got a long way to go, but I am amazed at the changes in my body. I never took proper "before pics" so mine are from about 5 pounds in. I've lost 15 pounds, but this shows a 10 pound loss! I was floored when I took my progress pic this morning! I eat about 1800 calories a day, do Couch to 5K and lift heavy! Starting…

Belly Question
I want to make this clear: I am *NOT* asking about spot reduction. Nor am I dissatisfied with my progress. I'm just curious about other people's experiences. For those that do/ did have a substantial amount of weight to loose from their midsection (IE- there's overhang and/ or a lot of protrusion), when did you start…

Nice Monday Morning NSV
I put on a shirt this morning that fit perfectly the last time I wore it. Today, it was starting to get baggy. Considering it was my man's birthday weekend and there was a little gluttony, I'm thrilled! I feel like him:

It's like Christmas!
I'm getting a FitBit (eBay!) and I'm like a kid 2 days before Xmas! I keep checking the tracking; I keep expecting the website to have a popup that says "No, it's not moved in the past 10 minutes. Go back to work." It's the little things. :)
