edited September 24 in Success Stories
I have always gotten such motivation when looking at everyones before and after pics. I didn't realize that I too am almost a success story until I saw this picture. Yesterday I was looking through old pics on my computer and was completely shocked by this old picture I found of myself. So much so I decided to take this cell phone pic of myself in my PJ's yesterday!! I do feel really silly posting the pics but if it means helping one person stay on track it is so worth it!! I was around 228 in the photo on the left (my starting weight on MFP was 199) so I did lose 30 pounds over a 2 year span prior to joining. YTD MFP loss is 63 pounds since joining the end of April 2010. I have not reached my goal but I am 8 pounds away!

For anyone who just joined and is still struggling to lose their first 10 pounds, I just want to say, You can do it!!! Don't give up and just be patient. Try making short term goals and when you achieve them set new ones.. Before you know it you will be half way there!

:happy:

    Although I have so much toning and tightening to accomplish before I can honestly say I've met my goal, I still can't wrap my brain around it either!!

    Excellent job. Your pics are motivation for me. I still have 47 to go to reach my long term goal. Hopefully I will cross the finish line this summer celebrating.
