Lost The Equivalent of my Daughter Since October - She's 5 [Pics]

jamesrreed

Happy Holidays! Congratulations and best wishes to all fellow MFP users. If you are just starting out with MFP, I promise you that it works.

On October 1st of this year I hit an all time high at 240 lbs. Since that day I have rededicated myself to eating better, working out more (exclusively cardio so far but adding weights soon) and a goal weight of 199 lbs by summer 2015.

I hit that goal yesterday. 80(ish) days after I started and months before I thought I would.

It occurred to me that my five year old daughter might weigh somewhere in the vicinity of what I have lost. Figured out yesterday that she does. She weighs exactly 41.0 lbs.

The before pic below is from June or July. I'm probably pushing 230 in it. I gained an additional 10 lbs by October but avoided the camera. The after pic is from this morning. The third photo is of my daughter, the equivalent of which I have lost in less than 90 days.

MFP was an enormous part of my success. Thank you.

Congratulations. I am just starting and need to lose the equivalent of my daughter - she is 8 so about 60 pounds. Hoping to do it by the end of May.

Your story shows that it can be done. How tall are you btw?

I'm also going through new clothes about as fast as she is. Started in very snug size 40 pants and have gone through 38s, 36s & now 34s as of yesterday.
