So, I know everyone just wants to see the pictures....so go ahead and skip down to the pictures....but come back and read the rest.....

My story is just like everyone else's. Life gets in the way....4 kids later.....I weighed 287. I now weigh 207. I still have a ways to go but I promised my MFP friends that I would post at one year!

I have lost 80 pounds. I went from a size 24 to a 14.
I have lost 3 inches off each arm
6 1/2 inches off my chest
8 inches off my waist
8 incehs off my hips
71/2 and 61/2 inches off my thighs
3 inches off each calf
1 inch off each ankle

So, here are some before pictures. It's the best I could find...since I have always hide from the camera.

    Thank you so much...it was not easy to post these pictures. I don't want to look at myself....and see just how big I had gotten!! I wanted everyone to see me as I am....no makeup, hair not fixed!! Just a good old country girl trying to do right by herself and her family!!! MFP has helped me so much......there have been many tears, many "I can't do this" Many...."who cares? Really?" I am really mean to myself...and I am working on being my own best friend......

    Each and every day is a struggle for me....and I am not sure it will get much easier.....I just take it one day at time
