in Success Stories
Beginning MFP in January 2012, I NEVER thought I would write a success story, much less post pics. However, it has been through others being brave and sharing their stories that I have found encouragement. I, too, want to be an encouragement to others, so here goes. :wink:


Personally speaking, the past 6 months haven't been without change. In the last 2 months alone, I've walked through the loss of my grandmother, the passing of our two cats, my father's heart surgery, mother-in-law's broken leg/arm and taking care of her dogs/birds/household while she recovers. There have also been celebrations too, like spring weddings and most importantly, our youngest son's graduation from high school, complete with cake, cake, and more CAKE!! :love:


Since January, using tools I've learned on MFP, a pre-diabetic scare and a thyroid diagnosis from my doctor, I have lost 53 pounds and approx. 40 inches. I am still striving to reach my first goal of weighing what my drivers license says, and then reaching more goals from that point, but I am well on my way. I am SO THANKFUL for the group of friends that I've found here at MFP who accept me and encourage me on a daily basis.

    That's a lot to go through! I'm so glad you've made it through and are persevering! You look great! I think my favorite part is the two swim suits side by side. What a difference! Keep up the amazing work you're doing!
