So I started in 2013 as 290, I couldn't believe it.
I cried, I ate and I cried and ate some more. I don't know how I became motivated but one day I just wanted to loose weight. I had recently been diagnosed as having PCOS and piled 60+ pounds on in 1 year, my hair was falling out, my skin was disgusting and I was a moody beast.

Here is me at 290+, I remember thinking oh I don't look that big (very much I did look that big or bigger) I was very unhappy and drank two 2l sodas a day, ate numerous chocolate bars a day and every night had mcDonalds. I knew why I was fat, that's all I ate. In fact I was so embarrassed that I told coworkers that my medication was making me balloon up, unless my medication was ordered by Dr. McDonald and was a cheeseburger x2 seven days a week... I lied...Sorry coworkers I'm sure you knew I was fibbing anyways.

This is me now at 213, I'm nowhere near done. I haven't exercised yet but plan on toning up a lot. I have realized I may have hurt myself in the long run by not toning while I loose weight as you can tell by my bat wing (arm fat), but I would rather be flabby then look like that any day. I have changed A LOT, I give myself two days a week that I still count calories but have a treat (Fridays and Saturdays) all throughout the week I eat no bread (I'm ok with that), no juice and only a little diet pop. I always have a salad and veggies and I always mix up my meals so it doesn't get boring.

I am no where near done, I want to loose at least 60 more but I am for once proud. Thank you for all your support MFP!!

    great job! I highly recommend exercise to tone up, I wish I'd started mine a bit earlier. Bat wings can shrink - I still have them but they're much much improved and don't really bother me anymore. I'm sure a little strength training would help too.

    Keep it up :)

    You look amazing! Nice work! Also, thank you so much for that T-shirt. I laughed so hard, and I will now think about that every time I see my cats licking their butts. OMG.
