Not only for weight loss, but my entire life improved. Got out of a bad relationship and worked on myself like crazy. I decided to go back for school for something that I really wanted and even got a 4.0 the fall semester. I made a goal of running a half marathon and completed it in November.
I'm not sure what my starting weight was, but I once weighed 213 at the doctors office. The first time I weighed myself after starting eating better and working out was 201, and started MFP at 195. Today I'm around 145. Either August or September, I had a body composition done and I was about 30% fat, and yesterday I had it redone with 25% fat. Not sure how accurate it is since I used the handheld ones at the gym, but still awesome to me.
This is from christmas 2011. About the only before picture I have. About 210
From August of this year. About 160.
Today at 145.
I still have about 10/15 more to lose, and now have a love affair with lifting so working more on that at the moment.

It's amazing how getting out of bad relationships and working on oneself can be so wonderful!!! I started the journey in 2009, but didn't start on the weight until Xmas of 2011. Fluctuated but constantly working on core now, and keeping care of myself, and it's amazing. Congrats and you look fantastic. 0
