Hey all, as terrified as I am I made a vow that when I hit my halfway mark I would post bikini pics of my progress. So fair warning there. :tongue: So here's my story:

This is me at my heaviest:

I was around 220 and tipping into Obese on the BMI scale. That was a few years ago and I actually lost about 20 pounds on my own by exercising to workout dvds (love The Firm!) and making smarter decsions about my food. I thought all was going well, even though I stopped exercising, until I went on vacation with my hubby this last January. I actually took pictures of myself in a new bikini because I wanted to know how BAD I would look on the beach. Pretty screwed up, huh? Thats when I knew it was time to get back to business and found MFP.

Its been almost 6 months and I have lost 27.4 pounds and gone from overweight to Normal on the BMI Scale. My tops went from XL to M, my pants were a tight 16 to a very baggy 14, my bras a 38C to a 34C, and my panties from L to M. I know, not too drastic of a change, but when you are 5'11 it takes a lot more poundage to make a difference than a person who is 5'5. But I'm happy with the progress, and I hope you all can tell a diffence. I can feel a difference and now that I am halfway to my goal I plan on focusing more on toning up and getting back to my high school weight (150).
