53 down and 45 to go!

Posts: 85
I started my weight loss journey in March 2011 and I am just over halfway through. I decided to do something about my body when my doctor told me I was considered pre-diabetic. I also had very high cholesterol for a person my age (I was 19 at the time). I lost about 15 pounds and quit because I was overall okay with how I looked. Well, I got into the swing of things at college, started stuffing my face at any open opportunity, and I gained more than I had lost in the first place. I hit my highest weight at 253, and I joined MFP upon hearing about it from one of my college professors who had had some success with the app.
8 months later, I've lost 53 pounds and I have 45 to go, give or take when I get there.
Probably around 250 something in these pictures:

I am so impressed with your story, your pictures, and your positive attitude. I feel like I'm in the middle of my voyage (26 down, 30 to go), and I'm a little tired from all the exercise. I can see the finish line now though, and don't want to stop until I reach my goal. Your post really helps me feel like it may be a long and winding road, but it's worth it to get home. Thanks.0

That lace top actually RIPPED that day. I was wearing clothes that were wayyy too small for me. I only wore it once, that day. I'm so glad I woke up! Now I can wear a top one size smaller than that one. =]0 -
