half way - 217lb to 180 - 50lbs to go (UPDATED JAN 26)

Alright, so since I posted these pics in October, I have not lost anymore weight. School got a bit crazy and I stopped counting calories. I have maintained my exercise however; I make it to the gym 3-5 times a week, do between 20 and 60 min of cardio, and I do a resistance circuit that is set up at the gym that works full body.
So last time I posted I was 180. I have seen 175, but right now, still 180. Wanted to post pics to update, because I see a difference in my body even without weight loss. I feel great physically, but wish the weight would start falling off again! It seemed so easy before, small changes led to 40 lb gone, but I guess I just need to make more changes!
Getting married on Aug 29, and I finally got my wedding dress! So I want to get back into the calorie counting and lose more weight...I would love to be 150 for the wedding.


And here is a comparison from the beginning (Jan 08) to now

Ahh you look great so far!!! You can totally tell the difference.

Awesome job so far!! Extremely motivating for newcomers :)

Keep us updated!
 
Wow, you look GREAT. Really inspiring and motivating for me. I haven't started my diet yet, but I also have the problem of wishing it wouldn't take so long. Anyways, you're doing fantastic. Keep it up and hopefully we get to see you in your wedding dress in August.
 
Thanks for all the nice comments you guys! I am kinda having a bad day, and you guys just made me feel tons better. Thanks!
 
You really look great! Love that you don't care about the number on the scale... It's all about feeling good and healthy!
 
Lookin' great! :hurray: I like how you put your measurements right on the pictures, that's cool! Keep up whatever you're doing... You're going to look absolutely stunning in your wedding dress! :D
 
Aw you guys are all so awesome, thanks for all the great comments! Wow, its so great to hear nice things. In real life, a lot of ppl are afraid to comment on weight loss, I guess because they are afraid of making the ppl who have lost weight feel bad about how they looked before, Im not sure. But thanks everyone!
 
Remember slow and steady wins the race!! It would do you no good to have lost the 40 pounds by going all out hard core only to find yourself burned out and binge eating afterwards only to put the weight right back on. Be proud of yourself! You are doing a fantastic job and you WILL reach your goals! :hurray:
 
Wow you look amazing!! and I love the way you made you progress chart!! I might steal the idea... that is once I have progress... lol but really you look great!!!
 
I defintely love your last picture from April to December with all the measurements.
What a weight loss progression.. April and December are 2 kind of worlds!
Great job. I am sure if you keep your exercise and eating less and less.. You will loose more weight. Good luck!
 
wow 40 pounds! congrats.^^ im sure you can lose 30 pounds by august. you are going to look gorgeous for your wedding. just keep up the good work!!!
