I joined MFP and started this weightloss journey on 8/5/11, I started the Primal/Paleo diet on 12/1/11. I just started exercising about a month ago, and I ran my first mile in my whole life a couple weeks ago. On monday I'm meeting with a trainer to get me started on the stronglifts 5x5 program, and teach my how to properly lift weights so I don't hurt myself.

For the rest of my life I'm going to eat Paleo/Primal, and I'm going to try and weight train to increase my muscle and lean body mass and see if it will help any loose skin before I consider any cosmetic procedure fixes.

Start Weight: 292 lbs (8/5/11)
Current Weight: 169 (11/23/12)
Goal Weight: 160 lbs of steel!

Was deep cleaning the house two days ago and found some old clothes. Decided to try them on!

This dress is a sz 24. I wore it on my honeymoon.

This is an amazing dress, that while it was a size 16, it fit me when I was 292 lbs all the way to around 220 lbs.

I didn't wear jeans when I was fat cause I thought I looked better in dresses, so while I was a size 24 at my heaviest, My first pair of jeans I bought while losing weight was a size 20.

I can fit both my legs in one leg now.

This was my thanksgiving outfit this year. Size Medium top, and size medium leggings. I wear a size 8 pants now.

Everyone should mark this day in history as the first time I've felt comfortable enough to post a photo with my shirt off. My lower belly which is covered by my pants in this photo, looks like I've had a couple babies. So no underwear pics for you guys!

I'm really happy, but I still feel like the same person. Just a better version of myself. When I was heavy I never felt that big, until I look back and try on old clothes etc. Now I don't count calories, I just stick to the paleo diet and try to exercise whenever possible. I've shifted from losing weight mode to maintenance and fitness mode. I think I will reach my ultimate goal of 160lbs with this continued lifestyle, but I'm not racing too it anymore. It will happen in it's own time.

Congratulations on your outstanding success and commitment, all your dedication and hard work has obviously paid off! I follow paleo eating as well and just feel so good and healthy!
