Hi!
I don't post much on here but I just wanted to share what I've accomplished =)
I have gone from being supppperr tiny all of my life until about soph/junior year of high school and then gaining a significant amount of weight. From there I have lost and gained.

Last New Years (2010) a friend at work started eating healthier lunches. I tried the same and over the year, I lost about 8-9 lbs.
This year a (different) friend at work showed me MFP at the very end of January (30th, halfway through the day).

Since then I have gone from 147ish to my current weight of 130.8! My first goal was 135, second was 130. I thought I might like to be 125, but I believe I am going to just really focus on toning because I seem stuck and don't know if I want to lose anymore of me!

I don't really have a start picture, or measurements because I wasn't sure how I was going to do with this.

Here is a picture from 7/27/2010

I am 5'3 and have gone from a size 10 pant/dress to a size 6. I really want to focus my efforts now on my core and thighs (which seems to be the last place I'm losing from).

    you're welcome :smile: I just removed the %20 and replaced it with a space (photobucket allows you to name images with spaces in the title, but URLs cannot format spaces so they insert %20 in each space)
