So the before pics are obvious.. the one of me walking is the one that made me decide to hit the gym.

I know I weighed in at over 200 lbs at that point, and I am glad to say I started MFP at 198 lbs, and NOW I weight 181 lbs. I'm 5'3 so I am aiming for 125-130

I hope you all see a difference too!!

    You look awesome! But you need to use the img links to make the image show up without copying and pasting. :D

    Way to go. Every time I see before and after pics like that it inspires me to keep doing what I hate...Eating right and cardio :)

    Thank you everyone for your sweet words. :) I'm a pretty private person in real life, so I don't share the details of my weight loss with many people. I feel I can share it with you, and know that you will give me honest feedback. Seriously I would have never lost this much without MFP... been trying for 3 years with no success... until now :)

    YES! I agree.....But I'm thinking of dabbling in weight training come mid-december (I have my nursing final exams next week and I graduate mid-december!) My best friend lives 6 hrs away and she's a personal trainer and the results she's had from weight training are AMAZING! :) I just have no clue where to begin... :S

    At one point I weighed about 209... but I only started keeping track really when I joined MFP.. It could be about 25 lbs... That's why I said 20+ :) And, thanks! xo

    Keep with it. You're probably taller than I am. I'm a teeny 5'3 (5'2 1/2 probably), so it will show quicker. ;)

    I know, but if you copy the first link that I posted (in my original post) and paste it into a new browser window, you will see them. Sorry, I'm not savvy with this stuff. xx

    You look GREAT! I can see a big difference. We are almost the same size.. I am also just under 5'3 started out at 196 in Oct. and am now 177. It feels so good to be further away from 200! I don't think I can tell as much of a difference in myself like I see in your photos. I just joined this site today, and I love it already! :) Let's keep each other motivated to reach our goals!
