So apparently I am feeling a bit brave today and decided it was time to own up and do what I said I would do...post some success pics!! I still have quite a ways to go but am very proud of all my hard work! No fad diets, no miacle pills, no starvation! I simply do my best to eat well, drink a ton of water, and exercise and often as I can. I have taken several fitness classes and run on a regular basis. I am 29 years old, 5' 10", and thus far have lost 24 pounds since January 3rd, 2012. My initial goal was to lose 30 before I turn 30 this September! Right now I continue to focus on that and push myself! I haven't been this thin or strong in MANY years and can't wait to keep getting stronger! Many thanks to my sooooooo supportive husband and our 3 adorable kiddos!!! And off course to MFP for helping me stay accountable!!!!

Starting weight 194....sick.....

    Thanks so much!!! And although I for some crazy reason was feeling brave enough to post pictures of myself online in this bikini I'm not quite brave enough to be sporting it at the beach! At least not yet!!


    Thanks again everyone for your wonderful support!! Trust me when I say if I can do this so can you!!!
