A MFP friend told me I should post my success pics, so here goes! I've lost 85 lbs. since May of last year, but 50 of those pounds are since August 2012 when I REALLY started working hard!

This is me at my all time heaviest....(hate this pic)-May 2011:

I got pregnant right after this was taken and through the ENTIRE pregnancy I was SO SICK...I lost 17 lbs. being pregnant and that was the start to the "new me."

Another heavy pic, circa 2011ish:

All of these below are within the past month! I've got lots more weight to lose, but I am so proud of myself and wanted to share...if I can do it, so can YOU!! Feel free to friend request me...I am on here all the time, try my best to give support and my diary is open!

    Wow!!! I only joined my fitness pal a few weeks ago and I was just looking at your pics you posted... I just want to say congratulations on your weight loss!!! That is a remarkable accomplishment. I have started my own journey to lose weight. I have lost around 35 lbs so far and I want to loose at least 50 more... Your story encourages me to keep pushing on... so THANK YOU!!!! Good luck on your journey you are looking very pretty!!!!
