40lbs down in 5 months

amber0o

In the last 5 months I have gone from 290+ to 250lbs. I realize that I have a LOOOOOONG ways yet to go. The feeling inside though, from just this first 40lbs loss is amazing! I am different person inside and out. My drive and passion each and everyday that i get out of bed has increases 10 fold at least!

My weight loss has plateaued this last month, I found MFP and am hoping this will help put me back on track, specially with the encouragement and support I have heard so much about here. This post could have easily been a 'Getting started" or "Introduction" (maybe it will be as well) but i just found an old picture of myself (now located in my pictures) and finally realized what a success these 40lbs truly have been!

I hope to find some like-minded friends here and would love any encouraging or constructive advice!

Congrats on your loss so far! It's very frustrating when the scale does not want to move but keep at it.
