edited March 1 in Success Stories
I have had to talk myself into posting my "success" Story. I am not at my final goal weight and I am sure I will keep changing what I think my ideal weight should be as I continue down this bumpy road. I will not drag this out so here are a few stats :)

Starting weight- 294
Current weight-186

I have had some up and downs as I have traveled down this path to a healthy lifestyle, Gained some weight back after a surprise pregnancy and then broken foot. But I picked myself back up, dusted off and got right back to it. No matter how many times you stumble and fall you can always pick back up and keep going!

I have no idea how much I weigh in this picture, I avoided cameras any way I could. With my first child. (hope the pics work photobucket changed format again grrr)

Face comparison now. (pardon the cleavage, I am still a lazy bum and was laying down. But hey at least I have not lost the girls!)

And finally, 100lbs down (8lbs heavier then today) I had woken up with the worlds most awesome bed head so pardon the just woke up grumpy face. Post 4th and finally kiddo!

I hope that this can help at least one person feel empowered and like they too can accomplish their goals!

    Well done! I've only just started but I love reading these success stories! The only pic I can see is your profile pic but you look amazing in that one. You've certainly made me feel empowered. Normally I dread stepping on those scales. Since joining this site in the past week I'm now actually excited to weigh myself. Hopefully one day I'll have my own success story :D yaaaaaay! Congratulations and I really hope you're very proud of yourself x
