Today, for the first time since 1998, the number on the scale started with a "1" instead of a "2". Yes, i weigh less than i have in the past 14 years. I started at 278 lbs. MFP, i owe everything to you and am so thankful. I feel like im walking on a cloud today. And i know its not a fad diet, i've changed my entire life style. Last week we were on a 1 week cruise to celebrate my 30th birthday (yikes, im 30- still a bit depressed LOL) and i came home to no weight gain at all. While i did eat more than usual, i naturally went to healthier options. I didnt want the fries or the pizza or the nachos. i WANTED the grilled chicken sandwich and the fruit and the veggies. I FEEL so much better when I eat healthy. Most of my after pics are from the cruise this week.
How i did it... I just followed what MFP set for me. I started around 1700 cal a day and am now down to 1200. Yes people say that is too low for them but its not for me. I never feel hungry and unsatisfied. I dont eat empty calories. I cut all soda/pop out (I use to drink 5 cups a day) and only drink water now. I eat a lot of chicken, a lot of fruit. Nothing fried or greasy. I do loosen up a bit on the weekend and will have a slice of birthday cake or cookies, etc. My form of exercise is mostly walking. I also have 2 kids, a 1 yr old and a 2 yr old so most of my day is spent chasing after them. I dont belong to a gym. My new years resolution this year, however, will be to start toning up. I also just want to say thank you to my friends who motivate me every day. Its truly appreciated
Anyways, on to pics. I dont have many full body befores, i always hid but i tried to find a few.
This was at about 250 lbs..

Congratulations! and Happy Birthday! I just dropped out of Weight Watchers and signed up on MFP. Am hoping that counting calories instead of points will help jump-start my weight loss again. You're a true inspiration!0
