Hopefully this works as I wasn't able to resize my pics. I rejoined MFP at the beginning of April. It was time to change. I am over 40 and have gone through 5 pregnancies. I know my body will never be perfect but I want to feel confident . I still do not accept the change. It is hard to accept compliments when you have struggled with weight all your life. I have to remember how far I have come rather than beating myself up all the time. MFP calories set @1450 and I usually eat back 50% of exercise calories, exercise 6 days a week (cardio) and lifting heavy 3-4x a week. Signed up for 1st 5K in October.So what does 50 pounds equate to:

Starting size :
Pants - could barely fit into an 18
Now - Size 14 easy , even some 12's

Waist 4.5 inches
Hips-5 inches
Thighs -5 inches
calves -1.5 inches
bust- 1 inch
Resting heart rate has lowered over 20 points and blood pressure went from borderline to normal.


Before Photo: Makes me want to vomit


And now I can't believe I am doing this because I didn't think I would but here's the after

Congrats. Wow, I don't see any loose skin at all!

You are an inspiration!
Pictures like yours are what's convinced my mother (46, over 250lbs) to finally join me on MFP! You're proof that strength and persistence WORK! Keep it up!!
