I am just barley 5'2" (not even) and I am officially down 20lb! Still far from my goal weight but feeling so much better!

Start Weight: 208lb
Starting BMI: 38.0

Current Weight: 188lb
Current BMI: 34.4

If i can do it, anyone can :D I have hypothyroidism and working through that (its tough losing weight), ive always struggled, but if i follow MFP put all of my food intake in for the day, log my activity, and eat back all calories (including calories lost), i lost about 1.5lb per week (give or take). The only time i struggled was last week, where i didn't lose anything. but this morning i was down 2lb, so its odd how that happens! but point is, MFP works :D
I usually power walk (while wearing my 2 month old, and pushing my 19 month old in the stroller), i also use Zumba on the Wii and i got to the gym and utilize the elliptical :D

Pic #1 = 208lb
Pic #2 = ~195lb (somewhere in there, can't be sure the exact)
Pic #3 = 188lb
Pic #4 = face at current weight :D
