Before - December 2010 (400+ pounds, size 30)
After - July 27, 2012 (210 pounds, size 14)

I began my lifestyle change on 4 April 2011 weighing 399 pounds. Yesterday was 16 months in and I am at 210 pounds. It is no longer a lifestyle "change".... it is normal to eat healthy choices and exercise. I have about 40 more pounds to lose to reach my goal and I can't wait to get there! I currently weigh about 35 - 40 pounds less than when I graduated high school in 1984 ~ my lowest as an adult. For those with large amounts of weight to lose, don't let the number overwhelm you. Take it a week at a time and you WILL do it. If I can, I truly believe anybody can. Wanting to lose the weight is not enough. You have to WANT it and DO it. Something I always remind myself, "I am stronger than my excuses."

    Such a fabulous change! In 16 months? Such an encouragement. I started at 325 pounds in April 2012. I have lost 41 pounds and been working out at least 5 times a week. Thank you for sharing.
