    Congrats to both of you on all of your hard work and dedication to make a difference in your lives! Thank you for posting your story! This story is very inspirational to me as I am losing weight and want my husband to see that MFP can also work for him, too..only if he wants it, too :) I am going to share your story with him.

    You are where I want to be. This sounds just like me - battling weight my entire life (since I was in 4th grade), our starting weights and our height is also the same. I am just starting (down 11 lbs), but determined that weight will not win this time. I want/need to be healthy for me, my husband, and my 3 beautiful boys.
  • 1 word...AMAZING!!!

    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!!!

    The two of you look so amazing. Fellow canadians might appreicate this reference, but for some reason all I could think of when I looked at your after pictures were Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod from the Canadian Participation Service Announcements. You're both so fit and photogenic, you could be the next Hal and Joanne.
