edited December 26 in Success Stories
I started this trek weighing in at 333 lbs and 3 months later I am 308. I am 5' 7"
The photo on the left is the one that did me in. As soon as I saw that photo on my friends Facebook page, I was MORTIFIED. The next day I joined MFP and the rest is history. I still have over 100lbs to lose, but wanted to post my success so far, because you never know who you may inspire :smile:

    I can see the change in your face and your arms! Good for you. Keep up the hard work. When I started my...rather long and arduous journey (of my own doing) to weight loss, I weighed 237 lbs. Today, I weigh about 158 lbs. It's a hard thing to accomplish and you're doing very well. I hope you are proud of yourself.

    Don't forget. A mess up is a mess up and there's always tomorrow to make it right. For instance...I had a rough day at work...at I just ate 8 dark chocolate hershey's kisses. My usual stress relieving number is 2. Hahahah. But I'll get over it. Life will go on. And I will be back on track tomorrow.

    A photo also did me in. And they have continued to do me in. I have a dream. A realistic one. About who I want to be and what I want to look like. And no photo will ever make me happy until it shows me that. It's vain, maybe, but the vanity will be what gets me healthy. :-D

    Good trails ahead!
