Awesome pictures! Would love to add you as a friend for motivation and support. I still have over 80 lbs to lose and it seems like it will never happen.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement, kind words, and friend requests! It really has helped me get out of my funk!

I have been in a funk lately and needed a little motivation. So I decided to make a new before and after picture. Note: I do NOT do ANY crazy dieting. I do NOT cut foods out completely. I calorie count, PERIOD!!! Oh, and I work out a lot (gym, Zumba, weights, walking, etc.)



I LOVE LOVE LOVE to have new MFP friends. If you are going to add me, I just need for you to be serious. I hate when I become friends with someone and they want to lose 6 pounds (total). Then they whine "oh my god, what am I going to do?!?! I ate 3 M&M's today!!!" And they eat under their calories on a daily basis. These are people I get rid of REAL QUICK!!!

You look fabulous!! And your comment about the M&M's made me LOL!! hahaha

Great job. I have lost 70 Lbs since November since I started on here.
I work out everyday and I eat what ever I want, I just count my calories period.

Totally impressive!
I hope the feedback you get here reminds you of how very proud you should be of yourself. You've done amazing work to make this change, and while it's much harder and slower to make it gradually and may feel less impressive, I think it's really even more amazing. You've stuck to it for so long and really made changes in your life to get this far. And by doing it a healthier, slower way, you've increased the chances that you'll be able to continue and be healthy.
You rock!!!

P.S. You're comment about the M&Ms reminds me of a time in high school when we were asked to log what we ate. One day I ate 10 M&Ms, and the teacher made a comment about being careful to not eat too many sweets. For 10 M&Ms and I was underweight or at the very low end of the healthy weight for my height at the time!
