    Fantastic!

    Another great example of what common sense Helloitsdan talks.

    To the powers that be at MFP: Scrap your standard 1200 calories a day for every newbie and point them to Dan's roadmap to check what calorie intake they should actually have: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

    Repeat after me (copyright: Helloitsdan):

    1) You arent unique like a snowflake.
    2) Patience is the number 1 tool for any type of lifestyle change.

    The OP is living proof of this (as are countless other people on MFP).

    Incredibly awesome. Your next pic will need to be in a different swim suit, because you will just rattle around inside that one!

    You inspire me. I also have chronic migraine and am having issues with my knees, so exercise is very hard. I hope to look as good as you do in that bikini! Thank you for your story.

    LoL I agree about the swimsuit-- it is pretty baggy now. But I thought it'd be nice to see the difference, and it's the only one I have!

    Right now I only have a few clothes that fit me, so that's on the my list of things to do.

    Wow you look wonderful- I guess patience and a lot of hard work staying with it and not giving up worked. I do have some health issues similar to you so I know it's a long journey - You really look GOOD....
