98 Pounds Lost

Hopefully the pictures will work.

Highest weight was in 2007. I was in a very unhappy marriage and felt out of control. The result was a weight of 232.4 pounds.

I decided to do something about my weight and lost 25 pounds. My husband at the time told me that he was moving out. I couldn't focus on my weight any longer.

A few months went by and I wanted to start dating again. I lost another 22 pounds and ended up around 180. I met a wonderful man and we began dating. We went out to eat a lot and gained 10 "happy pounds" back and went back up to 190. My size 12 clothes were getting tight and I didn't want to end up even bigger again.

I started MFP again in February of 2012 and exercised just about every day. I logged everything, even if it was bad. I've lost 56 more pounds and can see my muscles now. I love it. I'm down to a size 2/4 depending on the brand.

I currently weigh 134 and want to lose the last 2 pounds to hit the 100 mark. The last few pounds have been slow, but worth it.

I can't seem to get the pictures to work in the posting, but you can see my profile pictures. The picture with my 2 kids is my highest weight, the floral dress is around 180, and the other pictures are in the 130's.
