Hi All,

I joined MFP the first week of September, 2012. My starting weight was 321, and I am down to 270, which is somewhere I haven't been since the ninth grade. Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked about my progress so far. I always get a lot of motivation from seeing everyone's progress numbers and pics, so i'm hoping that a) my pics show up and b) I can inspire someone else to keep at it. I still have a long way to go, but I think you can definitely see quite a difference! Rock on, everyone. Happy Hump Day!

    Thanks everyone!! Mimikate68- you are right- I do feel so much better! I am so much more active now! I actually enjoy getting outdoors and playing. I have also started dancing. The second pic was actually taken at my first dance competition. It's a whole new me!

    Way to go! I love to read the success stories. Did you do alot of exercising or just calorie counting? I'm doing alot of walking and MFP calorie counting and No it is not easy! Keep up the good work :flowerforyou:

    Dawnj87- I started out just calorie counting using MFP. I have gradually added activity, but I must admit that I still do not have a regular workout schedule. I am working on being more consistent.
