I started my journey on April 4, 2011. I was 265 lbs. Today I'm 165. I'm 5'9".

I exercise 5 days/week and kept within my daily calorie goal most days. I love taking exercise classes and I'm a runner! I've run in 11 different races now including a half marathon. I plan on running 11 more races this year. Thanks to all my MFP buddies, you are all more motivation than you know.

Here are my pics..... (hopefully I did this right)

This was taken in 2009 as our engagement photo.... I was around 265 lbs or so..

This was also taken around the same time in 2009.... same weight

    @ thenewanne -- You look amazing!!! Your hard work has paid off & seeing your starting weight & date have been inspirational b/c #1) My CURRENT weight (not my heaviest either!) is the same as your start and #2) to know it took you about 2 years but you DID it & didnt give up helps me to be realistic!! Thanks for sharing!
