No other words to describe your progress, except "impressive".
Stories like yours are why I keep logging in to MFP everyday.

Even though my goals are only about dropping 20 pounds, seeing results like yours definitely show me that my goals not that far away.

Thank you for sharing.

When I first started my journey I weighed in at 341 pounds. It took me a long time to finally decide to lose weight. I felt I was a confident “big girl” so there was no need. But when my weight started giving me health problems, I knew it was time to get healthy. So I started small, I changed the food I was eating and watched my portions. Then I started walking a few minutes a day. Shocking, the weight started to slowly fall off. Then I found myfitnesspal.com, joined curves and started to do zumba and my weight melted off! It was like my body was so happy I finally decided to move my body. It hasn’t been a year yet and I’m down 142 pounds. I’m not finished yet but I’ve came a long way and felt I should share my story. I know there are many women out there proud of who they are and feel they don’t need to lose weight. But losing weight isn’t about looks but rather getting healthy. I’m officially in Onederland and I’m excited where my new lifestyle will take me. By far losing weight was the best decision that I’ve made in my life and I’ll never turn back.

You look fantastic!!:drinker: Congratulations to you for all your dedication and hard work!! Stick with it girl, being healthy is a lifetime commitment, not just getting the weight off--I learned that the hard way! Advice from someone that made this mistake...once you get the scale and your body size where you want it to be, don't give up! Work just as hard to maintain it as you did to get it off. You are amazing:flowerforyou:
