28 pounds in 5 Months!

Hevans1012 · October 2012

I have never stuck to anything so long. My motivation was seeing my picture from a weekend getaway at the beach with my best friend. I said I have to do something soon before 40 hits! Shortly after coming home my best friend and I decided to go to Disney, that sealed it! I didn't want to dislike any of our pics because I was overweight! I've worked hard, counted my calories and the pounds just fell off. I've had my cheat days, still kept my love affair with cupcakes and sweet tea. Without further ado here are the pics.

1st day on MFP....

Now!

I started off with counting calories, staying under 1430. Then walking, eventually added swimming laps once a week and then biking our local trails. Of course the calories lowered slowly as I was losing. I am at 1290 for calorie intake now. Some days it wasn't easy but I knew it would be worth the sacrifice!
