A long way to go but I'm on my way

I started this on September 1st when I hit 272 on the scales. Today I hit my first goal weight of 225. Next stop 205, then hopefully 195. I've managed this strictly using a calorie deficit and walking about 5 miles a day with some push-ups and dumbbell exercises in between. I'm not eating clean like I should and rely on packaged and processed foods but that's next on the list. Anyhow, I just wanted to say thanks MFP for giving me the tools to turn my life around!!

50 lbs since September?!! You are amazing.
It is ok to keep processed foods in the plan. Lots of us are losing with a mixture of home cooking and packaged food.

A little bit more fat loss and definition now. Still real slow but steady results. I'm focusing more on strength training now and eating enough calories to still lose a 1/2 pound a week.0 -
Just found a better "before" pic. This was taken on my Birthday, September 13th 2014. I started with MFP on the 31st.0 -

Starting to see a little bit of muscle definition and getting a little leaner. I've been eating at maintenance for the past two months and hitting heavy weights 3 days a week.

I don't know why these things post sideways from my phone and I don't get why we can't edit our own post's to fix it.
