edited October 6 in Success Stories
I am 22 and have been overweight my whole life. I finally came to accept weight loss as a way of life rather than a temporary diet in August 2011. My starting weight was 215 lbs (highest weight prior to MFP was 230 lbs), and I am now 180 lbs, with a goal of 150-160 lbs. I'm always lurking in the background of the "success stories" board and find so much inspiration looking at the before and after pictures, hopefully I can inspire someone else too :flowerforyou:

October 2010 about 215 ish

November 2010 around 215 lbs (This has been my average weight for the last couple years or so)
