73lbs lost. Halfway there.

-This was me in 2011 at 299 pounds.

-This is me today at 226 pounds.
I can't believe i've made it this far. Had someone told me 2 years ago that I would weigh 73 pounds lighter I never would have believed them. I knew that I wanted it, but had it in my mind that I would never achieve it. I finally reached the mindset that if I wanted change that I had to make change happen. I had to put the work in and earn the change. I'm still only halfway to where I want to be, but i'm getting there. Before the weight loss I was a very insecure person, I didn't get out of the house much and I had very few friends. A relationship was completely out of the question, no way was I confident enough for that. Now 73lbs later i've finally allowed myself to break out of the shell more. I'm in a happy relationship and have reconnected with a few old friends. I'm still working daily on becoming a healthier person and I'm finally going back to school.
Oh yea..feel free to add me. I'm always looking for new MFP friends.
