edited January 7 in Success Stories
I started half heartedly watching what I ate on April 1 of this year. I was at 330 pounds. After a month I got on the scale and was surprised to see 20 lbs gone! HUH! So I thought, let me really try and see what I can do.

The last few months have been no great in the scale sense, but I wasn't tracking and I think toning more than losing actual pounds. My commitment in 2013 is to log what I'm eating and watch my calories. I am also very determined to get under the 200 pounds mark, where I have never been in my adult life.

Here is me at 330 and where I am now at 246. Pictures to me are the only way I see it. I look the same to me...then again I see me everyday lol

Thanks for listening and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

    Believe me if I could make the scale say something else I sure would lol. I guess being so tall does have it's advantages.
    Thanks for the encouragement!!

    I totally agree with what other people have said, you do not look your weight. When I first saw the post all I could see was your before pic and I thought it was your after pic! Needless to say, you look GREAT. Keep up the good work!

    Congrats!! I can see changes in your face & mid-section. Too be honest you "look" smaller than 246lbs so those toning have really taken off some inches! Keep it up!
