Hi everyone. I am 5'2 and at my heaviest I weighed 212 lbs, I couldn't believe how big I was, plus I was so lazy...It got to the point that I couldn't take it any longer and I was going to pay money for a program called ideal protein. Well when I went to the "FREE" seminar it was great but when they told me how much the program would cost, $90 a week, I laughed and told them I have 4 kids & 1 income, how am I able to afford that.

So I started on my own, I lost 4 lbs before I even started on MFP so I figured maybe I can do this on my own. I weighed in on January 4th at 212.6 lbs and I started MFP on January 8th at 208.6 lbs. It has been a little over 2 months, but I stopped the first 2 weeks of February and gained 5 lbs back. I got back on the wagon and had so much support on here that made it easier. I am now 191.4 lbs, my lowest was 190.4 just 2 days ago, and I have lost almost 3 inches off my waist and almost 3 inches off my hips. I can not believe how much of a difference I can see in myself, let alone everyone else telling me. Its an amazing feeling to know that I am doing this and it works. Its not a diet, its a lifetime change and you have to be willing to do that. You do not have to give up any of favorite foods, just that stuff in moderation. A lot of people have cheat days once a week but I find if I do that then I kind of get off track so I try not to but some times you just can't help it. If you do fall off this new journey just pick yourself up and get back on here, its okay!

I will post pics as soon as I can. The pics I have are of me naked and even though I have bleeped out my girlie parts, some people do not like that I have posted them so I am trying to be careful to follow the rules. Good luck to everyone and I am here if you need anything. I am really not accepting any more friends right now bc I have so many and I tend to neglect the ones I have at times bc I have so many posts but if you email me I will get back to you.

Hey Everyone

I am back to add some more to my story. Its so weird bc I happen to look at this post and completely forgot that I posted on here and it was so awesome to read what I wrote 2 months ago. My weight loss has been slower then it was in the beginning but I am not pushing as hard as I was, which can happen when you hot a plateau. I have hot a lot of them but most of it being my own fault and I started to get lazy (still am a little bit) about this bc after losing 33 lbs I stopped losing and I started giving up. Its really easy to do so please try not to give up, it really sucks to think I could have lost more by now if I would have kept going the way I was. Oh well, its in the past and I still have come so far and I am doing things now that I never thought I would be doing, like hiking with my husband and working out in the yard, playing with my kids and just showing them how I can get off that couch and do something with them.

Anyways its May 9, 2012 and as of right now I have lost 33 lbs and I am just so amazed at everything I have accomplished this year! Thank you to everyone who has supported me bc with out you this would have been impossible.

Here is a pic so far since last time I didn't have any appropriate pics!

This is really motivational! I'm 5'1" and I weigh 130 pounds..but I look a lot heavier for some reason. My first goal is 120 pounds and then I'll aim for 110..and if I ever ever can again, down to 105 (so I have some leverage :P)
Have a lot of inches to lose along with the weight!
Feel free to add me. Good luck everyone!

Sorry - hit enter too early on my last post!

You look WAY lighter than 139lbs!! This is a bit of a revelation for me. I'm only 3lbs off my goal of 119lbs but I think I look much bigger than you in that last pic. It's bizarre. Even taking into consideration that everyone has different body types/ compositions it's amazing. Well done all of you!

Thanks so much for putting these pics up. I'm exactly the same height and start weight so it couldn't be more inspirational. You look fantastic. Loving the bra, loving the curves - you look a milion dollars - congratulations

I got on the scale this morning and truthfully couldn't believe that I finally hit my goal weight.

I've calorie counted and exercised regularly--ate all my exercise calories--and figured out how to make this a lifestyle, not a diet.

There are no quick fixes people--just hard work + determination.

And I'm only 5'2"

But the results speak for themselves:

Highest weight:

6 months in--down from an 18 to a size 10:

142:



About 5 to go:

Size 8 dress:

I feel great--healthy-happy. Yes I do have lose skin--lotion, time + lots of water are the only cure for that.
