This is my first progress pic post - I have lost 54 pounds!! My friend convinced me to do this post. I have been hesitant because I really do not believe the pics show the progress that I know I have had..if that makes any sense..lol.
On January 26, 2013, I went to the doctor to get back onto my thyroid medication. I was shocked to see that I weighed 280 pounds. I knew I had gained weight. I was wearing a size 24 pants and 4x shirts (26/28). Instead of going home and making a weight loss plan, I freaked out and went through my closet and threw out all the clothes that were too small for me that I was saving for that day I would lose weight and fit into again. I just gave up. This went on for about a week. I was depressed, ate a lot and just felt very low. I was hitting bottom. Meanwhile, my friend on Facebook was doing weight loss challenges each week to lose 2lbs a week. It inspired me. I started a weight loss group on Facebook and one of the members told me about My Fitness Pal and on February 4 I joined. I love this community and really credit the food diary and the inspiring and motivating people on here to my success.
