I was in denial about how much weight I had gained until I saw pictures from my brother-in-law's wedding in St. Thomas November 2011 (Blue dress):

Shortly after this, I went to the doctor for a check-up and the reality set in: 162 lbs. At 5'4, I was overweight and unhappy. I had joined MFP back in October before the wedding, but did not keep up with it. This time, I decided to stick with it.

Here are more "Before" pictures not too long after I started MFP (I'm about 160 here):

And calorie counting really worked for me! I did not deem any food "off-limits" as this is what has always derailed me other times. I ate pizza, ice cream, french fries, cheeseburgers...just as long as they fit into my weekly calorie goal.

Here I am at 148:

Here at 128:

And here is me today, at my goal of 115:

I am now starting to weight train, as I want to tone up and maybe add a few pounds of muscle :)

I lost 47 lbs with MFP! You can too!

    Great job! You look great! I am the same height as you and I am starting out a bit heavier.. but I have almost the same goal. This is so inspiring to me. Did you work out any or just cut calories?
