MFP has truly been the magic bullet for me and I wouldn't have got anywhere near my progress without it.

Here's me at my sister's wedding which is about a year before my starting date of July 14th 2012, If anything I was heavier than this when I started (at 285lbs). I chose this pic as it seems like a fairly true representation of just how large I was. There wasn't much choice of shot.. I guess it's just a natural thing that the photos that make you look fattest have a habit of disappearing!

And here I am now at 207lbs, almost 80% of the way to my initial goal of 185lbs.. (16th December 2012)

I'm posting this as the shots people have posted over the last 5 months have really inspired me and spurred me on when I was on the verge of packing it all in. I hope I can do the same for somebody else!

    The mirror has only become useful recently as I was too wide for it before!

    Thank you all for your kind words xx

    BTW TWO THINGS

    1. You're amazing - I should have said that first.
    2. We have the same mirror LOL

    :drinker:

    ETA: I cant post the pictures i took in that mirror on the interwebs, cause i didnt fit in it til I was smaller either :P

    You know how you can buy 4 of them together, well I remember walking past three all together - so fitting my whole self in that mirror... man - if there was ever a non scale victory like that day! hahaha MAY 2012 - It was a Wednesday. Fit in the Wavy Mirror.
