70+ lbs lost, new to MFP -pix<3

Hey all! I am new to MFP but not to weight loss. I previously used BLC.com to log calories and decided I should switch to a free site with all of the same functions...why not?? :-)

Started my journey about 3 years ago at 220 lbs as a New Year's Resolution. I had always been overweight and had crash dieted off-and-on for years without truly understanding what I was doing to my body. I was 254 lbs at my biggest and a size 24 at Lane Bryant. I hit my smallest 1.5 yrs ago at 139 lbs and a size 5/6 (only 4 lbs from my goal weight)....I guess I just got tired of the calorie counting....BAD IDEA. I fell off the bus, gaining 21 lbs back GRRR. I could kick myself, but instead, I am back at it. I WILL REACH MY GOAL and I will keep it off by maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

As I'm sure I am not alone, here are the few before pix I have where you can kind of see my body:

Here I am at my smallest, 139 lbs:

    use this [ img ] tag not the html tag for img <


    you also need a direct link to the image so it should end in the file type

    example: http://www.photobucket.com/photo/me.jpg

    I lost it 2 years ago with nutrisystem and the gym. This time around it's just wise food choices and MFP.

    Good luck and welcome to the site.

    you look awesome! congratulations...Keep up the good work....Let me ask, how much cardio and strength training did you do to look so great...what did your workout schedule consist of?

    You came to the right place - everyone here (for the most part) are encouraging and truly proud of each other - it has been such a huge motivator to me - check out the fitness and exercise threads - there are several groups on there doing similar exercise routines - they are great motivators as everyone checks in every day and reports their exercise - keeps me honest!

    And btw - you are gorgeous! Love your look and style!
