4.5 months in and 56 pounds down

I just wanted to share with anyone that has doubts about losing weight that you can do it. I barely have time to do my workout routines between 2 jobs, full time school, and everything else life has to throw at me, but you know what it has paid off so I keep pushing on. I still enjoy a meal out every once in awhile but I seriously changed my eating habits and learned portion control. I also incorporated exercise routines that I enjoy (tennis, swimming, walking my dogs, disc golfing, hiking, batting cage sessions, etc.) and am willing to set time aside for.

I also want to shout out to my MFP friends that have stuck with me since day one :) You are amazing :flowerforyou:

I am not sure how to post pictures but I have my 1st day on MFP in my photos and my profile picture is what I took this morning :)

    WooHoo! Congrats! :bigsmile:

    I have 80+ pounds to get rid of... and I set a goal for myself that in one year I'd be down 50 pounds! About a pound a week... You are proof that it IS POSSIBLE! So happy for you and getting excited for ME!! ;) I love success stories!

    We seem to have the same things going on as far as work and finding time for activities we enjoy.
    I think we also are on the same pattern as far as weight loss goes, I'm about two weeks shy of 3 months since joining and I'm current down 42 pounds. Hit a bit of a plateau the last two weeks, and have been yoyoing between 37-42 pounds. Hopefully it passes soon and I continue to have great success like yourself! You're doing great! Keep it up!!
    I didn't really set a goal as far as when I wanted to lose it all by, but I know I wanted to lose quite a bit for my sisters wedding.
