in Success Stories
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

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.

    WTG!! Great job sticking to it. I can totally relate. I look at my starting weight pics and can't believe I let myself get to be over 300lbs. I'm almost to half way too. Keep it up girl! You can do it!

    Wow! Definitely already a success story! The thing I like the most about your photos is that you seem a lot more confident in the current ones. That and your sparkly New Years dress kicks *kitten*!

    Keep up the great work :)

    I can't imagine the health benefits you have already gained by your loss! You are doing so awesome....I can't wait to see the "Goal in 2013." Your loss is tremendous and it doesn't matter if it took you one year or three years. Each step is a step in the right direction. It is said...and I believe, the longer you take to reach your goal, the longer you are likely to keep it off. I must remind myself this is a life long journey....not a race. ;)
