50 Pounds Lighter and Never Felt So Great!

edited September 2024 in Success Stories
Well I haven't posted a success story yet so I figured now would be a good time on my progress. I started my journey a little over 2 years ago. Didn't take it really serious for the first year and a half. I don't know what happened but after that year and a half of just messing around I started to take my weight loss more serious. I wouldn't say I found true success until I found MFP and started to track my calories and really start to put research into my lifestyle change. I started tracking my calories and found a wonderful discussion group where I have met an awesome group of ladies who have become my weight loss sisters. They are more supportive then I could of ever imagined people I didn't even know could be! So here I am 50 pounds lighter and have never felt better! I have never in my life felt as good as I do now and I'm not even done on my journey. I'm 5 pounds away from my halfway point..

Please excuse the mirror picture, I live alone and had nobody to take a picture for me! :laugh:

    You look amazing!! great job! I can't wait to be able to post my own succes story. I just turned 30 and found out I have a fatty liver so I am going to be working hard at a life change to eat healthier and take better care of my body.

    Jess you know you look FREAKING FANTASTIC!!!

    It's a little weird to be so proud of a person I've never met. :laugh:

    Edit: But darn you for posting a picture with a giant M&M in it! :tongue: I have been craving M&Ms for a few days now. Argh! :laugh:

    So amazingly proud of you! You look FANTASTIC and happiness really does exude from your body. Totally agree with LittleSpy, "It's a little weird to be so proud of a person I've never met."

    sooooo awesome..seeing before and during and after pics is always inspiring...i need to get a pic or two from jan 2008 when i started this most recent journey to good health and weight loss...and take new one soon when i hit a mile marker...hmmm what mile should i mark??? almost at 35 guess that would work or maybe i'll wait till 40 :)
    anyway, sorry to hijack your post with my ramblings...you are doing awesome and i hope to see less of you in the next set of pics....
    keep up the good work...
