edited September 26 in Success Stories
Soo I have been big my whole life, despite being an athlete and playing sports constantly. Yo yo dieting as long as I can remember. I have had a lot of success so far with MFP and i'm proud to be sharing this, though I still have a ways to go. I realize it is a lifestyle change and not a diet. SOOO happy to finally have my BMI under 30! Wooo success :) Now on to the long journey into the "healthy" region!!

My highest weight, around 225. (Pic before Prom June 2008 haha). Pretty embarassing :(

Picture from right before I started my MFP journey, Late Dec 2010, around 210ish pounds.

Pic from last week, as "overweight" and not "obese"!! 190! :)

I know I still have a long while, but I thought I could post a success story for now as more motivation for me and anyone else who needs it! Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like too, always could use more :)

    You look amazing. It's hard to believe the BMI chart says you are overweight as my eyes are telling me differently. :-)

    Good for you! What a difference - you look wonderful! I am really close to getting out of the "Obese" category myself, so I understand your excitement. Keep up the great work!

    Also, just an observation - you really look like Heather Morris from Glee, especially in your profile pic. :D

    Saw the title of the post. Wife is also excited about dropping from "obese" status to "overweight" status.

    For you, want to say, awesome job!

    Congrats on the progress; and kudos for making the choice to live healthier _and_ sticking with it. Most people cannot do that. You've lost weight, but gain so much more than just looking good.
