    I started this about 8 months ago. About 2 months in, I got a Fitbit and found MFP. I'm down 97.8 lbs and 88% of the way to my goal weight. I pulled out one of my old pair of pants to see how they fit. My daughter asked if I could fit into one leg - when I could, she proceeded to fit into the other leg. This really showed how much different I am from 8 months ago. Pretty crazy that me and my 16 year old daughter can fit into a pair of pants that I used to wear regularly.

    Incredible! Well done. Good luck with the last 12%

    Thanks to all for the kind comments. I still can't believe this picture. And our daughter has been funny. She started going to the gym with us last November. She doesn't go every night but she does go pretty regularly. She's at the point in school where they don't have to take gym any more so this is a good thing. She is very active with color guard from August through football season but doesn't do much other than that. She has been supportive, even to the point of making low cal cupcakes and she figures out the exact calorie count for me so I can splurge occasionally. On the other hand, she's finding it hard to believe (and may be a little miffed) that our scale can no longer tell the difference between us. We have one of those scales that recognizes up to 8 users according to their weights. If their weights are too close, you have to tell it which user you are. I have to identify myself daily now!
