So, I am still working on getting towards my goal, but I'm way over half-way there and thought I'd share some motivation and possible inspiration.
I have more pictures, but haven't scanned them onto my computer (some old ones) but I think this little collage of pictures will do well to show everyone how far I've come. :happy:
I yo-yo'd for a long time... trying slim-fast, trying diet pills, trying everything that I could possibly think of to do it... but I figured it out finally... there is no "magic pill", secret advice, or a super expensive solution that I must pay for to make it happen. It's all easier than that. I have lost 40 lbs through MFP, and I honestly can say that because of this site, almost all of my questions were answered. I felt like all of the guess work was taken out of it.
I feel fantastic, and my little journey is not over in the least bit, but I'm so much further along than I thought I would be that it appalls me some days... other days, I think to myself... well, duh you're here, you are eating right and exercising...
So, without any further explanation, I'll just let the pictures talk for themselves.

    Shoot... I can't remember the site, but there is one where you can set up your person and try on clothes... it has a place to put height and weight in... when the pictures would change I would print screen and paste it and cut it into a paint document... I can not remember the actual site to go to though.
