    Welcome to MFP!

    Well done for starting to lose weight. I started back on my healthy lifestyle last July after having my 2nd baby and was about 220lbs. I'm now 164lbs and a UK size 12 (US 8). It's taken me a while, but I feel I can hardly remember being a lot bigger now. Before you know it you will be at that stage.

    You look better than I did when I was in the 200s!

    Feel free to add me!

Everyone here is so amazing and I feel so lucky to have a very motivating team of people around with so many, many kind words! Thank you all for your responses and friend requests. I hope we can get through this all together and learn each other's stories!

    You are stunning and the before is a massive motivator. I have done a before pic, and take another one with every stone I lose. Along with taking measurements.

    You will do this sweetheart. A massive congratulations on the 7lbs, it's a massive step in your journey. xx

    Hey Angels,

    You are definitely at the right place. This is a great group. I like to refer to it as a "Facebook" for thinking people. If you want to see a REAL before pic, take a look at my (PXMike) profile. I was down 181 pounds before begin able to fully hit the breaks and am now in my rebuild phase. Welcome aboard new MFP!

    I love the idea of doing a before picture and posting with every 10lb drop. What a great motivator. We can do it if we stick together! Best of luck and I’m totally adding you. :happy:
