So since starting my weight loss journey I have lost 50lbs, most of which has been since joining MFP. I saw pictures of myself and realized just how bad I had let myself go and decided with my wedding coming up it was time to change. I managed to loose about 20-25lbs before my wedding but gained all but 10 of those pounds back during the wedding. After my wedding I was seeing posts from MFP from a friend of mine (thanks Lori!) and decided to check it out and I've never looked back! The first picture is of me at my heaviest 222lbs, the next two are of me now, 172lbs (sorry they have a weird shadow in the pic). I still have about 20 more lbs to go but I know I can do it! The jeans I'm wearing in the second pics I could not get up over my thighs when I started my weight loss journey, and now I actually have room in them!

some stats for those interested
height 5'6
bust from 44'' to 39''
hips 48'' to 41''
waist 37.5'' to 30''
thigh 30'' to 23.5''
belly 45'' to 38.5''

So I'm down 50lbs and on average 7 inches from all over my body!

    Thanks everybody! It has been a hard journey but it has gotten easier as time has gone by and I get into the habit of eating right and exercising! Good luck to all of you!!

    Merflan - I have a big frame- I'm big boned haha and I think thats why I look like I weigh less. Alot of people couldn't believe I was at 222lbs (not even my husband)
