Hi,

I thought I would share some pictures of my progress so far!

I've always struggled with my weight but the real turning point was when I ballooned to 270lbs after having my son in 2011. It wasn't until 2 years later that I decided to make a change after seeing myself in a picture with my friends on my 21st Birthday and being so angry that I had let myself look like I did.

It's been almost 3 years since that first picture was taken and I've tried lots of unsustainable plans since then and found that, surprise surprise, calorie deficit and regular exercise are the only things that work. However I didn't fully commit to it which is why it's taken so long for me to get to 70lbs down.

I joined MFP almost 5 weeks ago when I decided to go vegan. In that time, I have lost 17lbs. I've finally started C25K and found a great support network that I could honestly not live without now! For anyone thinking of giving up, please stick with it! It takes a lot of patience and a lot of determination but it's so worth it! I'm looking forward to finally shifting this last 50lbs!

Great job glowing looking amazing

Thank you so much everyone for your kind words!

I always wear SPF and make sure that my skin is protected. I put together my skincare routine after reading Caroline Hirons blog, would absolutely recommend checking that out. I also try to keep junk food to a minimum because that without fail, breaks me out all the time. I also never sleep in my makeup, no matter how tired I am!
