I did it. Never thought I'd be able to but I've lost over 100 pounds. I started out on September 23rd, 2010 weighing "Err" because the scale's maximum was 335 lbs. and this morning, May 20th, 2011, the scale read 234.8 lbs.

I'll post some current pics later today or this weekend but you can visit my site http://www.shawndoeslife.com to see a variety of before and after pics.

MyFitnessPal has been such a huge help in my journey along with the support of family, friends - in person and socially on here, and people that I've met along the way.

Now the next stage begins and that's maintaining. I'm pretty sure I can do it because I know I never want to go back to where I was. And again, with the support of family, friends, MFP and the confidence I have in myself that I never knew I had, I know I can do it.
