Nearly a year and look at me now!

So I started my weight loss journey in April 2011, right after my youngest daughter was born. I weighed 240, had high blood pressure and HATED my body. I had no energy and stuffed my face every time I ate. Enough was enough! I cut down my portions and started doing reeeeally low impact exercise (and breast feeding). I lost about 30 pounds then got complacent and quit. I stayed at 205-210 for almost 2 years. Then in February 2013, my husband and I went to a rock concert (Otherwise, Stone Sour and Papa Roach - awesome!!!) I wanted to wear a really cool jacket I had bought when I was 18...but alas it wouldn't fit! So I joined a community meltdown challenge, lost 12 more pounds and then found MFP!

I didn't have many friends on my old profile (forgot I had started this one waaay back) and lost 30 more pounds from February to June/July. I stayed at 168-170 for a couple months, then started again and lost a little more. With my new profile (and 50 less pounds) I added a bunch of friends, joined an 8-week challenge group and have lost another 15 pounds. I'm now 7.5 pounds from my "goal" and think I could probably stand to lose even more.

I have NO pictures from when I weighed 240 (don't want to remember anyway) so my first picture is about 200 pounds in February of last year.

SW: 240
CW: 154.6
GW: 147 (or less...?!)

Also - please forgive the images' poor quality and if they're too big...I tried to resize and they looked stupid. They did look ok on the test message I sent myself so hopefully this works.

I've started body weight exercises and a little lifting...let's see where it takes me!







Please be kind - this is scary for me, but I'm pretty proud! And forgive me if my Math's a little off...that's not my forte!

Seriously...someone help me with resizing. Ugggggh!!!
