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 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.
