A year from now you would have wished you started today

I will be the first to admit....I haven’t made the most amazing progress...I was one of those on & off loggers on MFP. I got caught up in the social side for about a year and a half (2011) and really got things together late 2012. I’ve had months of stalls and plateaus. The scales been up and down up and down again…I know I would have lose more weight and body fat if I would have actually worked out.

These photos are a year from each other with just diet, no exercise. It can be done. Down 40 pounds.

Now comes the hard part. The working out; cardio and strength. Excited to see what the next year will bring!

    The dude cropped out of the picture on the right appears to be devastatingly handsome. He's probably not hurt at all that he's cropped out. :P

    Wbgolden brings up a wonderful point. How could I ever crop such a ravishing man out of a photo!? He's not only handsome he never left my side the entire event. What a wonderful man he is!!!!!

    So let me get this straight MFP does work? I mean you just follow the calories and you will lose weight? If you do it consistently right?
    Congrats on your progress, looks amazing
