I was always told i was "big" my whole life (since like elementary school). Never bothered trying because I didn't see the point. Downward spiral. Years of eating/boozing whatever to my hearts content. Didn't make me any happier but I was just used to it. Then it came time to buy a wedding dress and realized holy crap, my options are seveeeeerly limited and i'm going to have to pay hundreds of dollars extra to get a corset back added to the largest size they had in the one I liked. THAT was my motivation for starting. I didn't find MFP until 2 months into my weight loss journey, but it has made it sooo easy. I am ashamed to say that I started out at 301 lbs the end of July 2012. (I hadn't stepped on a scale in yeeeears because I was in denial.)

Still got a way to go, but I'm only 4 pounds away from the least I've ever remembered weighing (back in high school 12 years ago). If I can do it, anyone can!

    Wow, you look awesome! I am down 45 pounds since Christmas and have just over 90 left to get to my goal weight. Any advice you would give? Am on Nutrisystem and doing about an hour of walking 3x-5x a week

    Wow what an inspiration! Keep it up! And though I am happy for you getting fit and healthy as we all should, you should know you in those pictures you were ALWAYS beautiful and you should never be ashamed - just motivated, which you sure as heck are! And you couldn't look a prettier bride too :) I wish you well.
