edited February 4 in Success Stories
In January 2013 I went out with friends as it was one of their 40th birthday.
We had a fab night and when I looked on fb the next day I was tagged in her photo- I was shocked - my photo was awful
This is it

Then and there I made the decision I was going to lose weight - it was going to be my 40th in August and I wanted to be able to have my photo taken - and like it.
On January 7th I started using mfp. I must say I've loved it and I started to lose weight at a healthy steady pace.
My mam held a party in August for my birthday and this is me then

Todate I've lost 49 lbs and I've got about 12 more to go to get to have a healthy BMI.
I can't thank mfp and my friends I've made enough for all the support - my life has certainly changed - for the better!

    I fixed your pics, but it seems you have moved or deleted them from your photobucket account. I tried :)
  • The link isn't working but I managed to view the pics by copying and pasting the link. You must feel amazing!! Congrats!!

    Not very good with technology I'm afraid - I've tried posting pics but they don't seem to work

    How did you fix them?

    I changed the IMG tags to img tags which is the normal mistake people make... but apparently photobucket is just denying inclusion on this page for some reason. If I wasn't so sleepy I'd figure it out :)

    Thank you for trying - wonder if its because I've used an iPad rather than the web?


    I wanted to share an album on Photobucket with you!
