I've been actively losing weight for almost 3 years. Joined MFP almost a year ago to help. I've learned a lot and met some amazing people here. For 2012, I'm focused on fitness improvement, not the scale. I'm 10-15 pounds from goal weight. My final weight will depend on what percentage of bodyfat I get to this year.

To keep myself motivated, I'm posting pics of my progress so far. I'm a believer in "slow and steady wins the race"!


Sept. 2008. I'm not sure what I weighed at my heaviest. I know it was between 215-220lbs. For reference, I'm 5'8", medium build.

March 2009. Had started to lose some weight. 10-15 pounds at this point.

Got serious late 2009-2010. By March 2011, was down to 173lbs. Ran in a Warrior Dash.

May 2011. About 170lbs. Playing sports on the weekends (flag football and softball) feels SO much better now.

November 2011. 166lbs. I've played flag football for 16 years and this season was my best by far.
