60lbs gone!

rcalvert1

In 2006 I was at my heaviest. I had just gone thru a divorce, was raising 2 boys without help and totally miserable at my job. It wasnt until a couple of years later that I decided I was going to do something about my weight. My co-workers and I decided to lose weight together by doing the Biggest Loser contest. I won that challenge, I was 43 lbs lighter and $359 richer (good thing, I needed new clothes). I gained 6 pounds back over the course of 2 yrs (not too bad I thought). Then May 2012, I'd finally had enough being a chubby girl, having no energy and back pain. I have lost 24lbs since and many inches overall. I can now shop on the 'skinny' side of the store and I feel so much better. Here are my pics, just thought I would share since I feel this is a big accomplishment.

You are an inspiration as I work a desk job too and deal with aching back, hips and legs.

Congratulations! I'm hoping MFP can help me as well.
