I just wanted to share some pictures with all of my wonderful fellow MFPers...this has been a long journey and I am so grateful for every moment that I have put into losing the weight and getting in shape.

Let's get started with the first pic, shall we?


I was 180 pounds in this picture...the heaviest I have ever been and so out of shape, it's ridiculous. This was December 2009.

This was me @ 149 pounds...down a LOT!

At 143 pounds now...those clothes are looking baggy!

This was me mid-May at 138 pounds! Almost there!

Annnnd the final one...for now. 133 pounds and only 3 pounds away from my goal! Wearing a size SMALL dress, hellooooo!

    Yeah girl, I'm the same height as you! 130 is my goal but I have a feeling I'll maintain better at 135 :)

    Thanks for the props, guys...I worked my butt off (literally! haha!) to get where I'm at!

    As far as what I did...I cut my calories, started eating more fresh foods and started working out. First I did Couch to 5k and ran a 5k in May, then I just started going to the gym 4 times a week and got on the elliptical, now I'm doing the 30 Day Shred and like it a lot! I get bored very easily, in case ya couldn't tell ;)

    You look great! I love things like this especially when I am feeling a bit down about the whole weight loss thing. It reminds me that will a lot of hard work and dedication, great things are possible.

    Did you ever have a week or a couple of weeks that you did not lose? What did you do to change that or did you just continue with the same things that were working earlier?

    Thanks for sharing!
