Weight Loss Progress so far (w/Pics)

Options
I didn't think it could be done, but here I am! Thank you MFP! *YaY*

I started this Journey in March at 195 lbs That's the biggest I ever been in my life! In 2009 I weighed 145 lbs... I don't know what happened really; College life, Married life, regular life lol I guess. But I am glad that I am getting back where I need to be. I am achieving my goal by cutting out stress, fried foods, sodium ( as much as I can), and all flavored beverages. I am out of school for the summer (start back Aug. 27 :-( but my husband and I still stay on campus which is cheap so I don't have to work and have a lot of time to devote to losing weight. I run, weight lift, and play basketball almost everyday, basically staying active. I am so happy I am getting my life back and that I can walk up the stairs with out feeling like I'm gonna pass out!

the Before pic is at a friend of ours wedding and that was my breaking point I couldn't believe I let myself get that big! I cried for 2 days after seeing that pic I felt hopeless... to God be the Glory!

    GREAT WORK! People just don't realize how much drinking only water rather than flavored drinks can do! You have a cute figure!

    You must be so proud. Congrats.

    I was struck my your mention of the wedding picture as the tipping point. Mine too, at my son's wedding a little over a year ago. I know two other people IRL for whom that was Decision Time. I wonder how many others have that "special picture" in their weight-loss history.
