Kicking myself, and finally some success...

You guys are going to laugh. (Or maybe not, if you have ever done the same...)

I had some "before" body photos on my phone from last summer/early fall. I was failing badly with food, and not really trying with water or exercise, so by about November I just said "Screw this!" and gave up, deleting the photos like a dolt.

After Christmas I got my head back in the game and finally put my heart and energy into losing weight. I have successfully lost weight a few times in my life, but haven't really put big effort in for about 6 years. I had my son 2 years ago and never lost the baby weight, staying at my highest weight of 227 for a long time.

I'm now down 26 pounds and about to hit Onederland, and haven't been so comfortable and happy in a very long time. I found a photo from last October from when we visited Niagara Falls as an example of my "before" weight, but it's not as obvious as the original exercise photos were. I'm sorry, but it's the best I have right now. There is so much more to go, as you will see from the photos, and this set will now become my new "before" photos for the rest of my loss, but I'm just so happy to have finally found a good plan and made progress.

Thank you SO much, MFP family, for all the love and support you all share with each other. The Success Stories forum has been my inspiration for years, and I don't know that I would have been so successful without all you cheerleaders.
