I began my journey at the highest weight I have ever been in my life by far. I was in a terrible relationship on top of having had a very hard pregnancy and a recent baby put me at 270 lbs. I made the decision July 1, 2011 to change my life and stop being the fat kid. I have been somewhat overweight my entire life and it was time for a change. I was going to lose 100 lbs no matter what it took to do it. I am an active person anyway so changing my diet allowed me to lose the first 70 lbs alone. I was working two jobs from 8 am until 10:30 at night and wasn't able to get into the gym until the second job ended due to the company closing in April. This ended my 3 months plateau at 200 and I joined a gym and started losing again in Mid May and in the last 3 months lost the last 31 lbs. I have been able to do so many more things than I thought I ever would and celebrated my loss with a 5k Mud Run on Saturday, which just so happened to be the day I hit my 100 lbs. I feel awesome and want to thank all of my MFP friends who helped me through it for the last 3 1/2 months. Had I known about this site the whole time I would have used it throughout my journey. Here are the pictures along my journey. Thank you everyone!

    First of all, you look FANTASTIC!

    Second of all, congrats!

    Third of all, can you give me an idea on how you achieved this loss? Like, what kinds of food did you eat? What was your daily calorie goal?
