I've technically been a member since March 12 but I didn't get serious about this until June 12. This is only 40 lbs down, not even halfway to my goal. I just thought I'd share my progress so far :bigsmile:

Top picture, I'm second from the left in the purple shirt. This was taken at my friend's birthday night back in March. I was 225 and didn't think that it was physically possible for me to change. Then I came here. And you all have chided me into believing in myself :heart: :heart: :heart: Thanks for all you've done for me so far! The second picture, I'm in the center. This was taken a few weeks ago at a little party I held at my house. I am on my way to where I want to be!! Thanks and lots of love to all my MFP friends :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

    Thanks Everybody!!!! It's definitely been a rough one for me. I realized I didn't say a word about what I did to get this far:

    1. I don't drink juice, sugar soda, or coffee drinks from almost anywhere lol
    2. I rarely eat fast food, mostly opting for sub places, chinese, or pizza every once in a while.
    3. I run :) I started out small, running as far as I could (one lap around the block! ha) and then pushing myself further once it seemed easy.
    4. I started lifting weights. Don't believe the myth about women bulking up!!!
    5. I do more, in general. I walk to my parents' house to see them, I rollerblade in the basement on rainy days, I walk my roommate's dog...I try not to be so sedentary :)

    I have dealt with depression since I was a child so it's still lingering around on my bad days. Days when I get so motivated to run...and then suddenly feel like all my energy was zapped out of me. I'm glad to have the network of support on here for days like that :) I'll post another progress pic when I'm at my goal!
