Starting counting calories by using MFP and exercising on November 7th, 2010. I weighed 211.5 when I began this journey. Today I weigh in at 151.2:

    You look incredible! You definitely lost some years along with that weight! Way to go, you look happy and healthy and amazing! Be very proud of yourself!

    Thanks everybody! It was definitely easier to put it on than it has been to take it off. I will definitely say that, for me, it has been 85% mental - believing that I can do it, making myself exercise and convincing myself that junk food and soda is NOT my friend.

    Believe in yourself and take it day by day, pound by pound!!

    First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!! That is so amazing - you should definitely be proud! Secondly, I'd love to know anything about your eating and exercising routine that you would be willing to share :) I'm just getting started at 202 lbs and want to shrink down to 150 by the first week of November so your success is so inspiring!
