65 days on MFP and counting.. 18 lb. gone, 20 to go!

hkestner

I started using MFP faithfully every day 65 days ago.. I have slipped up, went over my calories a couple times, ok, maybe a few :-) I didn't exercise the first few weeks but after getting a few pounds off and gaining some energy, I felt it was time! I use the basic Tae Bo 20 minute workout a few times a week at a minimum. This site has helped me tremendously and I read the success stories a few times a week to keep me going.. There are some amazing stories on here and I can't wait to be one of them! I'm down 18 pounds and looking to go another 20.. And of course use MFP to maintain and keep myself accountable! This site is not a diet, it's been a lifestyle change for me!!! Best of luck to everyone!

You need to resize the before pic. Then change every IMG to img. Oh, I see you got it. Anyway, good going!

Thanks ladies! I'm not sure if it's from exercise but everyone says it looks like more than 18 lbs. Maybe my scale is broke =-) Either way, I will take it! This site and the people on here have inspired me so much!

Thank you ALL for the nice words!! I seriously didn't feel or see that much of a difference until I uploadedthese pictures here!! I hate that I let myself go the way I did but I love that MFP has re-taught me how to live a healthy lifestyle!! I think I annoy people when they ask "What diet are you using?" I always reply "none" :-)) I just eat healthy and exercise! I know I used to hate hearing that reply but ohhh how true it is!!

How'd you get those abs?? I want them!! YOU look amazing!! I don't ever see myself having the flat stomach or any kind of definition in that area, for that matter :-/
