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:

This is me now:
