in Success Stories
Tomorrow marks my 2 year anniversary on MFP, my success story is slightly different from most.
When I started here my weight was 272.8lbs

I wore a size UK 24/26 I was 5ft 4.5 and my shoes were size 9eee. I was extremely unhealthy and a smoker, I had never dieted before and was in complete denial about my weight, I found MFP by chance through a Google search about bulimia (things were slightly desperate!)

By January 2012 I was down to 242.6 so I had lost 30lbs and felt very motivated, we decided it was time to try to lose the weight for fertility treatment (problems with my husband, not me) So I contacted the hospital and got the ball rolling, I still had to lose 50lbs to be considered for treatment.

By the time of my 1 year anniversary my weight was 188lbs I had grown an inch in height, wore size 16 clothes and a standard size 8 shoe. Treatment had begun in the form of exploratory operations etc

This picture was taken at my lightest weight, I weighed 180lbs, just before I GOT PREGNANT!!

And this is from yesterday, 32 weeks pregnant, weight 203lbs and very happy and excited to meet baby Matilda on or around January 8th.

I did the usual below 1200 calories when I started here, that didn't last long! I moved up to 1600 then 1800 and found that I lost very well there. Activity and pregnancy means I get 2600 calories now and am on target for my projected weight gain. Here's to the next 12 months (and beyond) :drinker:
