edited October 4 in Success Stories
I started my weight loss journey on Dec. 29, 2010 after finally reaching a point of being thoroughly disgusted with myself. I finally decided to do something for myself after 21 years of raising children. The picture on the left was taken in October 2010 at a football tailgate where my 2 daughters attend college. The one on the right was taken last weekend exactly one year later. Putting these two pictures side by side I was actually able to see how much progress I have made. I have lost over 45 pounds to date and am working on the last 15. After seeing these pictures, I know I am going to make it and keep it off!!!

    Very nice results. You even lost weight in your nose! I noticed that you don't keep any MFP friends, but if you ever want to start, you can add me :)

    Excellent!! It's so hard at our age to budge those middle age pounds. You did it! The last 15 are hard, but as you said you know you can do it! How great you feel, and how good you look in clothes will make you keep it off for sure :)
