I've been doing MFP for about 3 months now, and have lost 45lbs already through MFP, and dropped a total of 24" from six measured locations! Feeling pretty good about myself these days, though I still ideally want to lose at least another 20lbs, which will get me into the healthy BMI range!

This was me at about 255lbs, a few weeks before I started MFP

And this was me last week while I was on a hiking holiday (about 205lbs)

I'm shocked when I see photos of myself from a few months ago, its been quite a transformation already, and I'm still not there yet! Having to buy lots of new clothes has been a little bit annoying though (I've gone from a 44" waist to a 37" waist). Old trousers look like clown pants now! ;)

Thanks to those who are my friends on MFP, the encouragement has been great!

    Thanks for the kind words. I think the fact I have just been on a hiking holiday (where I racked up about 45 miles in 4 days) says it all! I would have never done that in my previous life....!

    You look great, of course. Congrats. And without prying, is there anything you can share about your before pic, with the very interesting background?
