I started my weight loss journey in September. It was right after my family had gotten home from a Disney trip. I looked huge in the photos and did NOT feel good about myself at all. I was beginning to wonder if I would EVER feel good about myself again.
I had tried MFP a few times before but never really was hard about it - I would lose a few lbs and then stop or something.
But this time I decided that I was going to work my butt off and lose this stubborn weight.

I'm 5'5"

Starting weight - 232 lbs (July 2012)

201 lbs (Early November 2012)

190 lbs (December 2012)

My first main goal is to get down to 170 - another 20 lbs. After that, I'll see how much more I want to lose. :) Slowly but surely.

    You look so amazing! I love seeing inspiring stories like yours. Helps give me a boost and show me that yes, I can do it too! I am at the point where I refuse to have my picture taken and what kills me right now, is the lack of photos of me and my amazing son cause I don't want him to look back and see a fat unhappy mama :-(
