    Great job, you and your DH! STUNNING progress for both of you! My DH and I are each down about 35 lbs. More to go, but grateful for what we've done, and inspired by pics like yours. Thanks so much for sharing them!

    My story is typical of a lot of people here. I think the last time I was a normal weight, I was 5 years old. After years of yo-yo dieting, struggling with infertility, 2 rounds of IVF, a twin pregnancy and several major depressions I had reached 256 pounds (I’m 5’5”). I started in March of 2011 just trying to eat less and exercise. I was going at it blindly, I had no idea how much “less” to eat or how much exercise was “enough”. A friend introduced me to MFP and it just clicked. I never turned back!
    Today I weighed in at 155 pounds!! I went from wearing a size 24 to a size 10!!

    My whole lifestyle has changed and I will never go back to that person I was a year and a half ago. My family is healthier and happier. We are an active family now and my boys get to enjoy things like go swimming with their parents, bike rides, kayaking and hiking trips. My DH has been on this journey with me and has lost 72 pounds of his own. He is amazing and I love him so much and I am so proud of him too!!

    It took me about 18 months. I had to change up what I was doing several times along the way. Right now I eat around my BMR and do 30 minutes of cardio 4 times a week and ST 2x a week. My daily diet is not perfect and I enjoy the occasional “free day,” but try not to go crazy. I hit “pause” and “reset” a few times, but I never, not once allowed myself to even consider giving up. Not for one second.

    I’m just a regular person. I was overweight my whole life! I am a busy wife and mom, I work full-time. I love junk food and I still don’t particularly like exercise, but I am dedicated to a better life for myself and my family. I am 5 pounds away from “normal” and 15 pounds from my ultimate goal, something I never thought would be possible! Seriously, if I can do this anyone can! Don’t ever give up! Good luck to you all!!!

    Congratulations from the bottom of my heart! It was reading inspirational stories like this on MFP that encouraged me to try it out! I hope to be where you are very soon hopefully the new year! We started out in very similar places weight wise. WONDERFUL JOB! I know how hard it was. The best to both of you!

    You are SO beautiful! Amazing story. My story except I wasn't really overweight until I was 16...puberty and bad eating habits. On 9/25/12, after a fasting lab to check a high blood sugar, I was given the diagnosis of Type II diabetes. I freaked out. I joined MFP (again) that day and will never look back. I'm your same height and was 243 on 9/25/12. I still have a hard time imagining I could be under 150 but I'm hoping I will be able to imagine it at some point. For now, 150 is my goal weight. That's 93 pounds. Heck, I can't imagine not wanting to go for 100! My primary goal, however, is to get rid of this diagnosis. I chose not to go on any medicine (although I've been on hbp medicine for over a year) and plan to be rid of the diagnosis within 6 months (AND the hbp medicine!)

    I need friends on here for support. Some who are on my journey and some who are my inspiration such as you! Great job and all my best for the healthest, happiest life!
