Howdy everyone!

I started actively losing weight back in May 2013 and I've managed to shed 108 pounds off my body in that time. Here's a little visual:

My starting weight was 313lbs and I'm currently at 205lbs. My goal is to reach 140lbs later this year.

Feel free to add me here on MFP and if you happen to have a tumblr you can add me there too. Mine is: http://ahopefulloser.tumblr.com/

Share your progress pics! I wanna see 'em!

    WOW!! Big congratulations to you! I don't have quite that much to lose, but im struggling... i just have to stay motivated and optomistic! I weigh 194 and want to get back to my normal weight of 165..... I'll be 40 in a year, so i am giving myself a year at most, but hopefully i can lose it by my wedding anniversary memorial day weekend... i am aiming for 1200 calories a day, working out at least 45 - 60 minutes a day with strength training 2 days a week. I am also trying to add more fish into my diet and workout one day a weekend and keep my wine intake to the weekends.. i'd love to hear your success story! what are you doing? what do you advise really helps?!

    WOW! Op, you have done an amazing job! Like the fine print says, 'results not typical', but you certainly have shown what CAN be done with dedication. Keep up the great work and you will reach your goal.
    Don't get discouraged when the weight loss starts slowing down, it always does when you get closer to goal. Just keep eating healthy and exercising and create new habits that will help you maintain your loss for life.

    And congrats to you especially for tackling your health now, while you are still young. You may have saved yourself a lifetime of health problems and pain, and extended your life by doing so. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
