Last October was when I really started my weight loss journey. I was at my heaviest since my son was born. Weighing in at 156 I knew I was just not comfortable with myself, with how i looked or with how my clothes fit. At first i started taking an appetite suppressant and i think i was eating maybe 800 calories a day and lost almost 10lbs in about 6 weeks. I realized how unhealthy that was and stopped. I was able to keep the weight off even when i went back to eating and exercising the way i normally would. I got married in March and was still at 146 for my wedding. Summer was fast approaching and i did not feel comfortable in my bathing suit (for years i never cared, but i moved to a new place and all of a sudden started feeling really self conscious around all the new people) So i joined MFP with a start weight of 143.8. Since May I have lost an additional 10lbs with about 3-8 to go! I was going thru old FB pictures...and finally realized that i actually have been making some progress!
