in Success Stories
After taking family pictures at Christmas, I realized a change must happen. I started working out & cutting back some, but I really wasn't as dedicated to the lifestyle change as I needed to be. I ended up losing about 10 pounds, but the summer came, & I got incredibly busy, so the eating right & exercising nearly came to a hault. Of course, a few lbs came back to haunt me. I joined MFP about 3 weeks ago & since then, I have lost 7.5 lbs! That is a record for me! :happy: Who would have thought calorie counting would be the key & that it would be so much fun?! I surely didn't, but I sure am glad I found MFP!
Below is the Christmas picture that made me cringe & a picture that I took today in the same shirt. Mind you, today's picture, it is evident I worked all day, but I think you get the general idea. I have a ways to go, but I am thankful for the progress & the knowledge on how to get the job done! Looking forward to my "after" picture! :wink:

P.S. All of your success stories are incredibly inspiring! Keep up the good work everyone!! :smile:
