Hey guys,
I'm just getting to the point where I'm actually feeling ready to post my before and after picture (see profile pic). In the before pic (11/29/2016) I was literally disgusted with my body. I was in such a bad space both mentally and physically and couldn't even look at myself in the mirror. Now (pic taken 04/03/2017), I'm 39 pounds down and have learned so much about staying healthy in mind, body, and soul throughout this process. I've still got more to go, but I finally feel like I've found my stride. Not ready to post to social media or show my friends and family, but I wanted to share my success somewhere, and since I have in large part my fitnesspal to thank, I figured why not here?!

    Thank you! I'm not quite at maintenance yet. I'm at 165 right now, would like to get down to 155. I've got some toning and fat loss to work out, but I'm getting there. Thanks for the support!

    That's quite an accomplishment, congrats! And I've still got some work to graduate into mega-hottie status, but I'm on my way!

    Thank you for posting your before and after pics. It's so inspirational. I also appreciate the comments you shared about your state of mind before and after. I've been working on weight loss since Feb. I've lost 7 lbs. I haven't added exercise yet -- just reduced calories and focused on adding more protein and vegetables to my diet. Cut out sugars, sweeteners of any kind, and grains. But the scale has not changed in 17 days. So I have to add some sort of exercise. Anyway, I was feeling frustrated -- but seeing your success story today gives me hope!

    Thanks! I still have work to do in the toning department, you can tell more in person, but I've noticed progress, so I'm hoping it continues
