Hi everyone,

I am new to MFP, so I thought I would share the progress I made pre-MFP. I lost 40lbs just by modifying my diet, cutting my calories to around 1200 a day. I just recently started working out, and have since lost another 4lbs! I am super excited about the changes I am seeing in my body, both physically and also mentally. I feel like my whole energy level has been kicked up 100-notches. Anyhow, here are my before and after...

    Welcome to MFP! You look fantastic, and I'm sure you'll get tons of support from other members here on the rest of your journey! Even on my bad days my MFP's are all rooting for me- it's been the best motivation and support I've witnessed. Congrats on all you've achieved so far! :)

    Thank you :happy:

    I wish I had found MFP earlier, but I am so thankful that I have it now...everyone on here is so friendly and so supportive. We are all here for the same reasons basically, and it really does make a difference in your success knowing that you have people supporting you and who can also call you out when you are falling off the wagon.

    Yep, on the before shots. I just came across some today. Realized I made it a habit to avoid pics the last few years. I found my lost camera recently. Ugh- found pics I've never even see. Ah well, I looked happy anyway:) I really didn't realize I had gained that much weight....just creeps up on ya sometimes;0
