50 something pounds down w/ pics

Options
Ok so I really started this journey 2009 when I jumped on the scale and seen 310lbs! Holy cow! That was the absolute heaviest I had ever been in my life..granted I'm only 23yrs old as we speak. I have been on MFP for a year now and have lost 23 pounds..kind of sad when I think about it actually. I have friends on here that started when I did and have lost much much more but the more I think about it the more I realize that my results are only equal to the amount of effort I've put in. And to be honest..I have been more off track this year then I've been on. So on a brighter note it only makes me realize my POTENTIAL in this whole process. If I put in 100%...the things I could accomplish are ABSOLUTELY ENDLESS!!

I had once again lost some steam so I decided to post up some before and after pics of the past 50lbs lost to help keep me motivated. Wow! I hadn't really noticed what a difference 50lbs had made in my appearance. I have about 100lbs more to go on this journey...and I'm finally feeling like " I GOT THIS!"

    It's easy to get side tracked and discouraged. It's has been a yearly struggle for me. I try for a couple days and then go back to my old habits or get lazy and stop working out, making excuses as to why I didn't go to the gym or why I had to eat that #1 with cheese.

    No More Excuses! No more letting myself down.
    It's literally a conscious decison to make better choices throughout the day.
    50 lbs lost is amazing. I know you will continue to reach your goal.
    Best of Luck!
