Thank you all! I have never put the pictures up beside each other so this was really nice to see since it's so hard to tell the progress by how I feel. I still feel like I look in that first picture. Hoping to work on self confidence next!

I am 5'6 and yes, haha, I carried 185 pretty well. That was part of my problem at first.Nobody had any idea I weighed that much so I wasn't embarrassed.I knew I had to lse weight when I was almost as heavy as my husband!

I started in the middle of December 2010 at 185. My first step was to count my calories on MFP, I stayed under 1200 calories and tried to fill those up with fruit and veggies. I ellipticalled anywhere from 400-700 calories every day and lost 20ish pounds pretty quick (2 months).

The next 8 pounds were really hard and when I got to around 160 I just kind of gave up. I stopped working out and just maintained that weight. I wasn't really toned or anything. Eating right and light exercise over 4 months helped me lose 10 more pounds.

Now, I am trying to run at least 3.5 miles on pavement a day or elliptical on a hard level for 40 minutes (around 600 calories). I am doing every 3rd day, light cardio with 30 minutes yoga to give my body time to regroup. I am taking it 5 pounds at a time instead of a "goal weight". Five days ago I decided to become a vegetarian (I did it a few years ago for 9 months). This pretty much cuts out those ham sandwiches I love that have the calories I don't need. Just in these past days I have dropped from my plateu (spelling) of 149 and am finally losing weight again as I have maintened 147for a few days. *huge milestone for me!
