Hi All,

I've been a part of MFP since April of 2012. I stumbled upon the website online while searching for motivators in my notorious quest to lose weight. I've been heavy all my life from childhood to adulthood. And on one Wednesday afternoon at work I decided I didn't want to be "Fat" anymore.
I exute confidence to most of my friends when we go out, keep up with as many trends as my waist will allow and use my humor as a sheild. But as my boyfriend can confirm, I'd still stand in the mirror every night hating my body.
Flash forward 3 months later to portion control, reading the nutritional value, walking my dogs as often as I can and the amazing support of my friends, family, amazing boyfriend and MFP and I'm officially 26lbs light and half way to my goal!
Originally I hadn't set one, for fear I wouldn't make it, but as the lbs started to drop I realized I could do this. I don't have a gym membership and have only tried the 30 day shred once at the beginning of this journey, unsuccessfully. I'm hoping with a little more weight loss and a higher endurance, I can try AND Complete it next time!
I wish you all the best of luck in your journeys and thank my great MFP friends for all their support!
&& Don't worry, the irony of me eating a donut in the first picture has not escaped me ;)
