Hello!

So I had recently posted that I am no longer overweight! I started a year ago on MFP at 180 (Obese at BMI=30). Sadly, I did NOT take any before pictures at that weight (you couldn't have paid me enough at the time). I am a struggling compulsive eater. It has taken me a year to lose 30 pounds (and technically three years if you count the other things I tried and failed at [that were not healthy]). I do have some pictures at around 165... and here they are. I THINK they were taken around this past April.

Here I am NOW, at 149.3! Technically no longer overweight (BMI<150.2)! I want to lose another 15 pounds, so I will probably be doing another before and after later. BUT I have never been this weight in my adult life. I used to be 150, but it shot up to 155 soon... then 160... etc. And including my NSV for the day - I ran 6 miles to celebrate! I have never run over 4, and in highschool I never used to finish the mile run because I was embarrassed about my time. I couldn't even run an entire way around the quarter track.

There is also a little Jillian Michaels thrown in there. I lost most by running and working at a barn this summer.

P.S. I hope the pictures work.

    Amazing transformation- you should be so proud! I'm not sure if you need to lose another 15 pounds, but you know your body best. I love that you celebrated by running 6 miles, you are a rock star. That's the best way to celebrate such amazing success. Sometimes I forget that working at a barn can burn some serious calories!

    Congrats again, and keep doing what you are doing- its obviously working!!

    Wow you look amazing!! How tall are you by the way?
    You're current weight is my goal weight, and you seem to have a similar shape to what I had at that weight before so it'd be good to know so I can hope/dream to be there at some point!
