    Before & During. 57 lbs. gone! *PICS*

    edited October 2024 in Success Stories
    Looking back at how far I've come, it's hard for me to believe even now that I've become what some would call a "success story". But that's exactly what I feel like. I never thought I would get here. (Also, sorry for the craptacular photos!)

    I've lost 57 lbs. total, but 45 since joining MFP 7 months ago. It's been a long road of struggling, triumphing, learning, denial, self-doubt, losses, gains, debilitating fear, and insurmountable joy. But it's all been worth it.

    I don't want to bore everyone with my entire life story leading up to this point, so I'll just share a few quick facts for those who may be curious.

    - This is the lowest weight I've ever been in my adult life.
    - My BMI is a healthy 22.2! (can't believe it!)
    - I'm 5'5"
    - I have NOT cut out all "bad" foods, as I'm a firm believer in moderation. But I virtually drink NO soda or sugary drinks, I stick to mostly lean meats (93/7 ground beef, ground turkey, and chicken), and I try to stay away from fast food as much as possible.
    - Jillian Michaels has changed my life. I bought her 30 Day Shred video back in February and haven't looked back. After completing it, I did it a second time all the way through, then moved on to Ripped in 30 which I've done exclusively for the past few months.
    - I also run on the treadmill a couple of times a week when I'm just in the mood to zone out and listen to music.

    I could not have done this without MFP and the awesome, encouraging, supportive people here. I also have to give huge credit to my husband who has supported me all the way. Thank you all so much!

    Eat (well), drink (smart), and be merry (always)!

      Amazing job!

      I too, have began traveling down the JM DVD path with 30DS and Ripped In 30! It's so exciting to see your results and remind myself how far I've come as well! You look fantastic and your hard work and dedication have definitely paid off! Our stats are in the same ballpark, so it puts things in perspective for me!
