I am a first time poster, but have read all of the message boards somewhat religiously since I began my journey in Jan. The pictures are of me at my highest weight of 262. I began my "official MFP" journey at 230, and have lost 45 lbs since January, but a total of 77 lbs in all!

I was looking through my pictures and found these, I even inspired myself!

Enjoy!

and the after pictures...although I am still 20-30 lbs away from my goal weight...

I work out at Curves every weekday morning at 5:40 and sometimes go back in the afternoon for their Zumba, other than that, I always take the stairs and park as far from stores as I possibly can. MFP has made the biggest difference for me, because I had NO idea I was intaking so many calories until I began tracking them!

I still eat fast food on occasion, but always ensure that I will still be on "calorie budget"!

    Wonderful job. I am sure those remaining pounds will be no problem for you once you continue what you have been doing so far. I am inspired by you too.

    Thanks everyone for all of your very positive comments! I was so nervous posting my before pictures, but you all feel like family that have struggled with me all this time, so THANK YOU!

    I am very proud of myself!

    Great job! You should feel really proud at the halfway point now and use all of your progress as motivation to finish it out, which I think will come much easier now that you can see the changes.
