As a little background- I've been overweight my entire life and mid January I decided to make a lifestyle change. I am not one that follows MFP's program. I don't eat back my exercise calories.... so please know that I previously was going to have weight loss surgery, but my insurance didn't cover it- but I did go to a dietician that made a low calorie/ low sodium diet suited best for me, so please talk to your doctors before doing a low calorie diet like I am- I don't want anyone starving their bodies of the nutrients it needs. I eat between 1200-1300 calories daily, I try and stay under 2000mg of sodium, but I at least always stay under 2500mg of sodium. I drink at least the 8- 8oz glasses of water daily- I started only able to walk my neighborhood for about a half hour every night, I wanted to make it to 30 days straight, but because of medical reasons I only made it to 23 days, but it became habit, and I started hiking, I started doing Biggest Loser workout videos- and I exercise at least every other day for about a half hour. If I can do this anyone can! I have a long ways to go- but I know my progress in only 4 months is awesome, I've never felt better about the future!

    What an amazing transformation! And you did it all on your own, no surgery, nothing. That's incredible. No doubt you'll do just as good to finish what you started. You are an inspiration, congratulations!!!

    You should be so proud of the dedication and hard work you have shown! Find a great way to celebrate and reward yourself - you'll definately need new clothes to keep up with your shrinking figure!
