So my DH & I started trying to workout and eat healthy after we both realized we had put on a LOT of weight and were eating junk food/fast food nearly all the time. My mom made it a point to ask me if I was pregnant and that was the last straw for me... So that was in 2011 and I was looking like this at 5'3" & 129lbs (at my highest)

Now after nearly 2 years and a few times falling off the wagon, I have managed to lose 27lbs (which according to another MFP forum post, is the weight of an average 2 year old!! (DH has lost around 80lbs!!!!!)

Since that picture I have run two 5k runs (one was an obstacle race called FoamFest -- which I highly recommend doing if you ever get the chance, it was a freaking blast!! and another called NeonVibe which is like Color Run but at night time!)... I've also lost 4lbs more leaving me looking like this :)

Now @ 102lbs I'm basically trying to maintain and get even more toned!! All done by healthier eating, running, swimming and strength training! Love love love MFP & all the community is soooo supportive, you guys are great!! & thanks to this site, DH & I both feel and look better than ever!

    Hi
    You look so much better and happier, you didn't seem to have as much as some people to lose I also don't have too much to lose thank god but I have gone back to eating Paleo it is the only successful way for me to lose weight and feel good.
    It is true when people say put junk in your trunk and you will resemble it, eat clean and you will look lean. well done.

    thank you! and i totally agree it is MUCH easier having someone else to help keep you on track and vice versa. and plus they never give you weird looks when you turn down junk food & have something healthy instead (aka both of our families lol!)

    You look great! I love to see a progress pic like this. Where you didn't have much to lose..since it always seems harder to lose when you are already at a relatively healthy weight.

    Thank you so much & that is definitely the truth. It can be disheartening to only lose like .6lbs or .2lbs at a time and it seemed like it took forever. Feels much better though eating healthy smaller portions bc you don't feel like as full & bloated and gross haha
