2 Month Progress Report - Down 20 lbs

My friend Kristin introduced me to MFP about 2 months ago and it has been the one of the best things I have ever done! So thanks Kristin you are awsome! I have pictures on my pc but need to figure out how to post them to this blog. To start, I have probably been overweight most of my life lost about 30 lbs in my 20's and kept it off until I met my husband. I weighed roughly 170 lbs. Went on and off the pill, quit smoking...ate lots of great food and next you know I packed on 30 lbs. Then got married, had 2 beautiful girls, move from San Diego to SW Minnesota and at my heaviest, I weighed probably around 230 lbs. Over the next couple of years lost a few lbs but my journey really started 2 months when I weighed 217/218 lbs. Got started on MFP and joined a healthy eating class at our local hospital, did Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and now 2 months into my journey and here are my results.

At the end of the 30 day shred video I had lost 11 lbs and 11.75 inches. I haven't measured in the last 30 days so I will have to do that really soon. I have been on every diet there is and I always gain back what I lost. I must say once that switch went off in my head that I can never diet again I really started to understand what I was doing wrong. Now....watch out cause it is on! No stopping me now! All I can say is thank you to all the MFP peeps. You guys are amazing and keep me inspired and motivated to keep it going!
