Hi MFPs, Firstly Thank You for taking the time to check this out!
I am a perfectionist and the thought of posting in the success stories thread scares me to death, I wanted to wait until I had hit my goal. However, I think I need this little reality check to re-motivate me. I still have 85lbs to lose and I'm about 10lbs outside of being halfway there so here it goes. I started MFP on November 13, 2011. 70lbs in a year is not drastic but I think it is pretty damn good!
I'm 5'5
SW: 324lbs
CW: 255lbs
GW: 170lbs
This is the day before I started MyFitnesspal

Wow, I let this happen...

Finally 20lbs under the maximum weight limit allowed for ziplining! Check off of the bucket list, that I thought would never happen since I used to be 50lbs above the weight limit.
