I am so happy with myself for sticking with it and giving it my all! I failed time after time and I was begginning to wonder if I would ever JUST DO IT! So for all of you who think you can't or if you tell yourself "I'll start tomorrow" or next week..next month..so on and so on..my advice to you is start today! Write down your goals and stay focused and pump yourself up! Food choices and working out will get easier over time! MIND OVER MATTER!!! Here are some pictures of my progress! :)

I am 5'9" and started MFP @ 243 lbs. I am now 187 lbs. My goal is 170. 17 more lbs to go!!!



Before finding MFP months after having my baby boy:
