in Success Stories
Hey friends! I have posted my story here before but I know for me seeing pictures tells a better story. Sorry if you saw my post yesterday and was teased as some of you said. I had issues with photobucket.

I started my weight loss journey at 258 lbs. I gained about 80 lbs after meeting my husband by bad eating and lack of exercise. Quitting smoking didn't help the eating thing or my metabolism. I ate what tasted good and never gave any thought to the food groups or nutrition. I lost 40 lbs before my wedding and after the wedding got off track. Cue MFP. When I heard about this site and logged on for the first time I was hooked. I knew this was a way to help me be accountable for what I was eating. First I logged all the crap I was eating on the regular and slowly started to eat healthier overall. I took up c25k (amazing program) and started jogging. It was really hard at first but I stuck with it and stretched the weeks out until I felt comfortable. I also did some DVDs and lots of walking. Eat less, move more really.

My original goal was 165 but then I reevaluated and I am now at a healthy bmi and have reached my goal weight of 145. I am a work in progress and while I am amazed at how my body has transformed, I would like to tone up a bit.

I am sharing my story in hoped of inspiring others.

    You look AMAZING! And you are def inspirational! In your before pic you look as if you have the same build as me so to see that you were able to come down so much and really see that much of a difference in your shape gives me hope! How tall are you if you don't mind my asking?!

    I know that I say it daily... but you absolutely ROCK. To make the decision to turn your life around the way you have is sooo inspirational. My world has become a better place simply by having people like you in it. :flowerforyou:

    There is really no point in my telling you to keep on being AWESOME... cuz you will and I know it. You are one of those people that truly do understand that this about LIFE, and I love that you are making yours as great as it can be!

    Amazing!
    We used to live in Lowell. Not a bad town. As long as you stayed away from down town anyway.
    Moved south in 2008 to longer summers and shorter winters :bigsmile:
