Best Birthday present to myself pics

OBXoceansoul · May 2012

So I started this weight loss journey after my son was born two years ago at 235 lbs. I was 204 when I joined MFP but didn't buckle down and fully commit until about 5 months ago. If anyone is wondering I worked my tail off, this was not easy. Diet was nothing special I just ate when I was hungry and ate smaller portions. I learned a big lesson- you don't have to eat everything, it will still be there later if you get hungry again. I am not at my ultimate goal but I did get to a big mile stone for my 34th birthday. I am no longer, per my BMI, "overweight" or "Obese" I never want to see those words again to describe me. I am now at 161.4 lbs to be exact and very proud of each and every drop of sweat that it took!

I hope my pictures work, here goes:

Before: 204lbs

Almost there but not "overweight" anymore :happy: :161.4lbs
