2 Years of MFP and how it changed me

Well this week I'll be celebrating 2 years of using MFP. What has happened in that time?

I lost 25 pounds
I started exercising even though I'm a couch potato at heart
I tore an ACL and walked like a lame duck for months
Took up weight lifting in order to build up my leg muscles for stability (I can squat and deadlift 42.5 kg/93 lbs atm)
Apparently the weight lifting went so well that I've stabilised my knee without any surgery needed
Look much better than before and feel as if I can kick *kitten* and take names (well maybe)

So thanks MFP. You're awesome.

Now for the pics of course, starting with how I used to look:

    Looking back through my files I found some more pics of how I used to look. I'm just amazed it took me so long to realise that I used to be doing my best to imitate a ball.

    Heh and promptly for my 2 year anniversary I hit my original goal of 51kg/112.5 lbs. I didn't think I'd be able to drop this low with the muscle I put on but hey I'll take it:happy:
