in Success Stories
I started trying to lose weight last year at the beginning of October, so I am about to hit my one year mark on MFP. I have about 5 lbs to go until I reach the goal I originally set when I first started but I am so excited that I am close that I figured its not too early to show my success pics. I do plan on changing my goals after I hit 170.This website is amazing and I never would have gotten this far if it wasn't for all the great advice and people here. I don't really have any pictures from my highest of 215-220, but I did take pictures when I hit 195. The first set of pics from left to right are from 195,186,and the last at my current weight of 175. The bottom face pic is from my highest of 215, its the only one I have.If you want to know more about how I got where i am you can look at my profile or ask questions.Oh, and I am a little under 5'9. Feel free to add me:)

    Yea at first it seems impossible when you think" wow I have to lose over 50 pounds:(" but then when you get close to it you are just so proud of yourself because you did something you thought would take forever and be unreachable. But trust me, if i can do it(slightly disabled) than ANYONE can do it:) Feel free to add me so we can motivate each other:)

    Wow, fantastic progress. You look so healthy and fit. I, too, set a one year plan and so far am about 4.5 months into it and I can only hope to make as much progress as you have. Take care.
