Hiiii! I am Sydney. I started seriously using MFP April 9th, 2012. A lot has changed since then both physically, mentally, and in my personal life. It has been an amazing year! I have been feeling so great the last few weeks I felt the need to share! I recently started a FB page where I post recipes, motivational quotes, photos... etc etc etc. If you are interested, you can either message me or add me as a friend on MFP and I will give you the web address.

Here are some of my before pictures: (highest known weight was 267)

    That's great. Just to confirm, it took you 12 months to lose 60lbs?

    I got to 205 lbs in January... so about 9 months to shed 60 lbs, but I am weight lifting now so the number on the scale has stalled but I am still losing fat :)
