    WOW, you look fantastic!! I have been up and down so many times. I have also been a WW member many times. I am now at my highest weight and debating on WW or MFP. You have shown me that all I need is commitment. Thanks for sharing your story!!

    I have struggled with my weight since college. In high school, I was very athletic, so I could eat what I wanted but not gain. I didn't keep active in college, ate what I wanted and weighed around 180 pounds when I graduated (I'm 5'5".)

    I moved out on my own and started exercising and eating better. When I was 24, I dropped to about 155-160. Then I met the man who would become my husband. And the weight just started going up, and up, and up. When I was 26 and we got married, I was 205. I tried a bunch of different diets...Atkins, South Beach, Nutrisystem, etc, etc, but I kept gaining from there, and after 7 years of marriage, I was 261. Then I got pregnant. When my daughter was born, I weighed 282. I dropped 50 pounds by the time she was 6 months old and then immediately started putting it back on, and then some.

    June 21, 2010. My highest weight of 288.4. I started eating better and walking. Just walking. My daughter was almost 2 and I didn't want her to have such a poor example for a mother. I lost about 35 pounds in 4 months, and then we moved and I changed jobs. My weight started going up again.

    June 1, 2011 was when I finally started being consistent. I weighed 268.0, so I had kept off about 20 pounds. But that was the day I started using MyFitnessPal to track calories. That was one thing I had never done. I KNEW how to eat healthy, so I didn't need to track calories. Wrong. Seeing it in black and white was a huge help for me. And I steamrolled from there.

    Today, September 2, 2012. I weighed this morning at 188.4. I'm down exactly 100 pounds from my highest weight. And I did it the "good old fashioned" way...eating less and moving more. After everything I had been through, that's what worked for me. Eating less, moving more. Using mfp was essential for me. It helped keep me consistent and accountable.

    So a couple of pictures. The first two were in spring/summer 2010. Not sure what I weighed but it had to have been close to my highest.
