My journey started in October of 2008. It has been a long time, but SO VERY worth it! Here's a walk down memory lane:
This was taken in August of 2006
This is the closest to a true 'before' picture that I have. It was taken in the summer of 2008.
February of 2009, I had lost about 60 pounds at this point
This was in May of 2010. I'm not sure of the exact loss when this was taken, but it was in the neighborhood of 190.
October of 2011, at the three year mark - over 210 lost.
Christmas 2011 - total loss at about 220
And this was taken today. My total weight loss is 235 pounds. I only have five more to go before I will be at my goal of a normal BMI! (Actually, that will happen in 2.3 pounds, but that's just an awkward goal - LOL!)
I could never have done this on my own. That's not just a cliche - it's a fact. I have tried and failed more times than I can tell you. If you're interested in knowing how this time was different, you can view the whole story at

My hope is that this can be an encouragement to others. It IS possible. More than 60% of my body weight is gone and I am freer than I have ever been in my life!
Blessings!!
Thank You for posting you really are the greatest inspiration ON MFP. I sent you a PM and would be honored to call you friend. I could learn a lot from you. Did you have surgery to have the excess skin removed? I am shocked your arms are thin now and there does not seem to be any extra loose skin anywhere.0 -
Congrats to you! You are totally inspiring. Good luck on your last few pounds to lose.0

"Faith is a lot like muscle. It is built up as you use it to overcome resistance."
What a blessing you are. A mustard seed of faith, and now you share with others the evidence that this is true.
Awesome revelation I have never thought of faith like that, but you are so right! Thank You for posting this it truly blessed me.0 -
