13 months and 11 days, 101 lbs lost!!! PIC HEAVY

I began my journey at the highest weight I have ever been in my life by far. I was in a terrible relationship on top of having had a very hard pregnancy and a recent baby put me at 270 lbs. I made the decision July 1, 2011 to change my life and stop being the fat kid. I have been somewhat overweight my entire life and it was time for a change. I was going to lose 100 lbs no matter what it took to do it. I am an active person anyway so changing my diet allowed me to lose the first 70 lbs alone. I was working two jobs from 8 am until 10:30 at night and wasn't able to get into the gym until the second job ended due to the company closing in April. This ended my 3 months plateau at 200 and I joined a gym and started losing again in Mid May and in the last 3 months lost the last 31 lbs. I have been able to do so many more things than I thought I ever would and celebrated my loss with a 5k Mud Run on Saturday, which just so happened to be the day I hit my 100 lbs. I feel awesome and want to thank all of my MFP friends who helped me through it for the last 3 1/2 months. Had I known about this site the whole time I would have used it throughout my journey. Here are the pictures along my journey. Thank you everyone!
