in Success Stories
I put these in another thread, but I figured I'd put there here too.

The first picture is from late March/Early April last year when I was about 270lbs (my starting weight was 284) and the second picture is from last month at about 238. I'm 234 now. still have a long way to go, but it's a good start! :D

    51 pounds is great! I want to do a slow loss too. Sure, I would love to wake up tomorrow and it was all gone, but that will not happen. And crash loss- I have done it a 100 times. It just is not sustainable. If I lose slow, I figure I can do it forever. Thanks for the post! 51 pounds is far from a START- it is a whole lotta' weight! keep on!

    What an inspiration, I was at 300 lbs when I started MyFitnessPal, I've only lost 9 lbs so far, but your story gives me the hope that I can lose the weight too! :) Thanks for sharing your success story!

    And a testimony to taking the broad (no pun intended) view. A pound or so a week seems like such a small step, but looking back over the year it adds up. And is so much better than doing nothing. So . . . great, GREAT progress and think what it will be NEXT April! :flowerforyou:

    OT: That wedding arch is the LAST WORD!!! (Bad pun couldn't be helped!) I swear I'd set that arch up somewhere in my house. My doorways are arched...hmmmm....

    Well, we have established you are willing to stick to your plan and work hard. GO YOU!!! You also have great taste in decor. You're bound to succeed at this! Good job!
