Progress Pics from 8 weeks of work

Hey everyone,

I've been doing a combination of medifast meals and watching my carbs (because the medifast meals are expensive). I drink a gallon of water every day and never go over 100 carbs in any given day and never go over 1,200 calories a day. If I do, I eat extremely healthy for the rest of the week. I don't think I've ever gone over 1,400/day since I started. I don't exercise at the moment except for weight training once a week and when I get down to 210 I will start to pick it up to 3x a week.

5'4, 26 years old

Starting Weight [265.8 lbs]

Week 8 [235.6 lbs] (30.2 lbs lost as of this picture)

Still going strong, aiming for 140. (90lbs left to go haha)

    Keep up the good work! I just got started with Myfitnesspal and was thinking of doing progress pictures as well, that seems like a good motivational nudge for not giving up...We'll see how it goes:)

    DO it! I did a picture every month and then at the year got professional pics done. IT kept me going.
