Since starting MFP I have lost 14.6 lbs in 2 months... and have been extremely proud with the results I've noticed! I measured today and have lost a total of 14.5 inches... Since July of last year however I have lost a total of 21 lbs... I am a below knee amputee and had noticed that I kept having to add socks and when I play softball (3 times a week right now) my leg would get blisters on it... come to find out I have lost so much weight that when I went to the prosthetics place today she had to put inches of padding in to make up the difference... and having to have them make that much of an adjustment to my leg also keeps me motivated now b/c if I were to regress and start adding weight back on, my leg would be way too tight! I feel like finally for the first time after years of yoyo dieting I can do this!

Hoping the pics show up...

The first is from July 4th 2010, the second is from my daughters birthday party in APril, right around the time i started MFP, and then the last is from tonight... :)

    Wow! A total transformation! You are just adorable - you remind me of a friend of mine and she's like a breath of fresh air, she's just so happy all the time. This is an epic NSV. Keep it up! :drinker:

    Awesome job!! Most definitely a noticeable difference! By the way, that plum colored shirt you're wearing in the 3rd pic is a really great color on you! :)
