I finally put up my before and afters on FB for all of my family too see. I am embarrassed by my before pics, proud of my after pics. I thought "I need to post to MFP!"

Thank you so much to MFP. Absolutely a life-changing website for so many people. The amount of information and tools on here to make the change happen is just incredible. I will be around for years to come!

I am 5'7, 26 years old. Started at 250lbs and in the course of 3 years, lost 100lbs. The success stories got me through the tough times, so now it is my turn to pay it forward to anyone who needs the motivation!

    Over the course of the last 3 years, my calorie intake has changed. Average 1600-1900/day. Some times it was lowered, some times higher.

    The absolute must-do was track my food as accurate as possible. Yes there were times I went a week without tracking, and yeah I eat all the same foods as I always have had.

    Workouts I enjoy Turbo Fire, Lifting are my main two. I enjoy going swimming, biking, badminton...whatever really. I worked out maybe 2-4 times a week. It is hard to say because it has been 3 years.

    ETA - I forgot Leslie Sansone! I have to give her credit because that is the workouts I first started doing, and I still do to this day!

    Super super awesome! Three years is great commitment and determination. We are similar heights and I am only in a year at 53 lbs down w/44 to go and was feeling discouraged. Thanks for the motivation! Awesome job!

    What a great change! Brava!

    And thanks for the reminder that this is a marathon.
    I had such success in the first 13 months (80 lb down), but have sort of lost motivation, stalled, for a few months,
    that I'm getting a little discouraged. I know what I'm doing wrong, just need to get back in my groove. Aiming for
    at least another 30 lb (110 total), maybe as much as 125 total.

    Amazing! You look AMAZING! :) My end goal weight is 60 lbs left to go :( but once I'm there it'll be 130lbs total loss... I've been feeling discouraged lately so I turned to the Success board and you were the first one. :) so thank you!!
