May 31 will be a year on MFP. I'll be on vacation next week so wanted to go ahead and attempt my before and after. This is a big deal because I don't normall show this much skin to EVERYONE.

My journey to getting healthy started with two episodes of kidney infection back to back. I didn't know you could get that sick that quick. Even before that I had very little energy and just felt awful all the time. My starting weight was 152. I don't have a before pic of that. I started slow with MFP and eating 1200-1500 calories a day. I walked on the treadmill and did Slim in 6 videos to begin with. Then in July I ordered Turbo Fire (WOW is all I can say about that). I lost inches that I had never been able to lose before. My picture below is with a 12 lb loss before TF and then the second picture is me at 125.6. My goal weight. I am attempting to maintain right now. I've gained a little back but I have a plan for that after vacation. I just finished Chalean Extreme today. THANK YOU to all my MFP pals. Jenn, you rock girl! You are my inspiration.

    You look great!! I'm starting at 153 and getting back to the 120-125 range that I was at before I developed some health issues, so you are a particularly good inspiration for me!
