Thanks to MFP I've lost a lot of weight. I've got some photos of me here hoping that maybe I can inspire you, too.

Before
I used to be really overweight. I was unhealthy and couldn't walk up flights of stairs without taking frequent breaks. (sorry for having my shirt off in the one picture but it was the best one I had.)

After
When I started on MFP it was just calorie counting - - I had a ton of success and eventually moved into Yoga, then Running (picture of me finishing my first 5k!), and Finally lifting!

In the end - I hope I don't sound arrogant - I think you'll agree that I look fantastic.

I'm only wearing a thong in the first pic but I hope the moderators still leave it up because I think it's pretty inspirational!!

I think I look particularly good from the side:

REACH FOR THE STARS!

With love,

    You look fabulous! Are you hoping to bulk up now, because you seem on the thin side in that last pic.

    In that last pick it looks like you are still carrying a bit of weight on the lower abdominals and the glute area... Keep at it... You'll get there! :laugh:

    you used the word HUGE in your subject line....it caused me to lose all morale....or is that loose all morale?

    and as a result i'm putting on my fat clothes and blaming MFP for my fantastic and devastating failure.

    Thanks...

    just thanks.

    Ugh, way too bulky for my tastes. I mean, congratulations, but I would never want to look like you.

    Never, ever. NEVER. But, ya know, congrats.

    ETA: Also, you have the waist line of an Olympic athlete, which is super gross in my opinion. No thanks. BUT AGAIN, CONGRATS!

    I'd never want a waist line like yours. But congrats. :indifferent:

    I like your body form in the last picture, but you don't have ears. Freaks scare me. Please go back to the circus.

    Was it the yoga that made your muscles so much longer? I'm only 5'0", so I think longer muscles might help me look taller and leaner as opposed to getting bulky from lifting.

    I see a teeny bit of squat booty starting to poke out, but DO YOU EVEN CURL?
