0.6 Away From My First Goal... Over 40lbs Down!

PandaPop87 · February 2012

I know I haven't yet reached my goal, but I thought I would post here as I am *so* proud of myself!

With MFP and my wonderful friends and supporters that I have met here, I have lost the most weight I have ever lost, and I am around the same weight that I was when I was 16 (I'm 24 now).

Before now, I had lost 28lbs, but I received some really bad news which made me overeat and put all the weight back on.

This time, I was determined to not let anything get in my way - I lost my dad last week, and instead of eating none stop, I have thought about things and I KNOW I don't want to be that big lump at 265lbs again. I must admit, I haven't been eating the most healthy foods that I could, but I'm still losing weight slowly.

I can't wait to be in the right frame of mind and get back onto it properly, exercising and preparing lovely fresh food

anyway, back to the point, here be my progress piccies!

Me at around 260 (end of July 2011)

Me at 224.6 (goal is 224!) February 27th 2012

I know it kinda turned out to be like a blog, but I hope you enjoy reading! I take a picture at the end of every month - if you don't take pictures already, do it! it is a FANTASTIC motivator!
