Hi everyone! I have been using MFP since October 10th, 2011. My highest weight was that day at 315.5, and I decided I needed to change. Since then I have lost just about 70 pounds and 65 inches off my body. I still have 100 more pounds to go until I hit my goal weight, and I'm wanting to join the military (it has always been a goal of mine), but this is my progress so far. In the before photo I was wearing a size 24 pant, and in the picture taken today I am wearing my sister's size 18 AE jeans. It is hard to see the difference, but I see small changes. It is not always easy, and I would be lying if I said I always stayed under calories, but this is a lifelong journey and I will not deprive myself of anything. The proof is in the pictures and clothes! I have never had any health problems; perfect blood pressure, cholesterol, everything.

    I can def. see it, and I'm jealous!! Going down from a 24 to an 18 is awesome!

    I'm currently in a size 20... and the thought of fitting into my old 18, 16 or (dare I think it?) 14 jeans would be awesome! Keep up the excellent work. You look great!

    BTW - I am trying to get back on track myself, and could use some friends if anyone is in the same boat. =)
