    Pretty much every time I sign into MFP, the first thing I do is check out the success stories, because I find them encouraging and inspiring. So I thought I could share mine.

    I don't consider this a before and after, just a before and now. I am still working to get in better shape, but I made this side by side photo to remind myself of how far I've come.

    Its taken me almost exactly two years to lose 75lbs, but I'm ok with slow and steady. I wasn't looking for a quick fix, but a total life overhaul. As for how I did it, its really no secret. I just started paying more attention to what I was eating, ate more whole grains/fruits/veggies and less sugars and junk. I took up running (badly, but I completed a 5K, something I never thought I would do) and lifting. If you want to know any specifics, feel free to ask.

    I had tried and failed to get in shape before, but this was the first time I knew when I started that I would succeed. And I think the biggest thing that helped was knowing in my heart these two things:

    1) I am 100% responsible for my own success or failure.
    2) Its going to take a while, but that's ok because its worth it.

    The specifics, if you are curious:

    Age: 27
    Height: 5'11"
    SW: 278
    CW: 203
    GW: No idea. My mind is more on getting fit now then the number on the scale.

    Good luck, everyone, on reaching your own goals! :)

    Oh. My. God. There are 14,000 responses but I have to say... Holy. Crap. You look AWESOME!

    Your comment made me laugh out loud! :D

    Technically the dress does NOT fit at all anymore. Its folded up quite a bit in the back for the picture on the right. Just wanted to use it for a comparison.
