This is so encouraging. Thanks for being so brave! Fantastic!

So great! I'm excited to see this because we have very similar starting stats (I'm an inch shorter and about ten pounds heavier than you were) and although I carry more weight in my thighs, it was like looking at a before and after picture of myself. Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing these. I'm going to bookmark it, if that's not weird. :P Well, even if it is.

OH NO do not feel embarrassed at all! YOU are BRAVE and so inspiring! Thank you for sharing and giving us a peak at the lighter light at the end of the tunnel. I would love to friend you if that is ok?

Ok so clearly I still have a good 25lbs to go and a bunch of toning before during and after that - but I am finally feeling brave enough to post some photos. Forgive the hideous photos, but I figure - what's the point in posting them if I am going to suck in my gut and hide the flaws right?! I'm not going to get into my whole story as the basic info is on my profile - if you have questions, ask away, if you want to friend me go for it, but please include a message

I started this journey October 1st 2013 (5 and a half months ago).

Here are the quick stats so far (this is stuff I am usually looking for when I read other peoples stories before the pictures!):

Basics: 5'10" and 30 years old

I was:
Squeeeeeeeezing my butt into a size 16
About 214lbs - which seems crazy to me now.
BMI of 30.7 - "Moderately Obese"

Right now:
Wearing a comfortable size 10
I recently hit a "normal" BMI - 24.4 and am feeling so, so much better about myself!
169 lbs.

I can honestly say that a bunch of that is thanks to MFP and my incredible friends/supporters on here who are also rocking their journeys!! :flowerforyou:
