I am so incredibly happy.....Like another poster said on here, this morning, I too, was dancing around my living room, looking in every mirror i could....I also cannot believe this is me ! For years I think I was actually depressed, and eating to make myself feel better, but feeling ashamed because I had binged! One day I heard a saying "You have to take an active role in your own happiness".....and here I was waiting for something to happen to make me happy....who was i kidding? I joined the gym and then I joined Myfitnesspal....91 pounds I have lost ! I have gone from 255 to 164 and I'm wearing a size 10, smaller than I wore in highschool...and guess what's next guys???? I'm heading to college for fitness and nutrition to become a personal trainer!!!!!! I am so excited ! and I just had share.....:smile:
Oh and I almost forgot...I can do pushups now and I'm running 5 km ! I actually did a 5 km race for autism awareness!!! it's amazing how good i feel now too...what a change!!!

    I am so happy for you I recently started and lost two pounds. I am pretty sure I would have lost more but I injured my leg and it has slowed me down but I am still proud of myself. I can't wait until I am in your shoes but again. Good luck in school as well.

    Wow, that is totally inspiring! I'm so excited that you are reaching your life goals. It inspires me because I got down to 154, then recently went on vacation and binged on bad foods, and when I got back I was 160. :( But that just means that I have to get back on track! My goal is to start modeling and I want to get down to 145 to do it. Thanks again for sharing your success! Hopefully next it will be my turn. :)
