Ive been on MFP for a year and its been touch and go lol but since Nov Ive really kicked it in gear. I always come here when I need a dose of inspiration, and hopefully I can inspire someone else with this post!

I am now 5'6, 222 lbs. Im 37% Body fat, and have another 40-45 to go before I will be within body fat regulations to join the military.
Im so excited because I have never been this close to having my dream become a reality.
Please dont quit... no matter how hard it is, I promise regret hurts worse than any workout routine.

Way to go!!! You'll be there in no time.

I joined the military right after high school (years ago.....) and I wasn't fat but I was overweight according to their standards. I remember being in line for breakfast/lunch/dinner and if you were overweight, you had to jog in place through the whole line - it was so embarrassing and I hated it.

I wish you the best of luck!

You look great and couldn't have stated it better:
"regret hurts worse than any workout ever will"

If I just started back in 2005, I would have been at my goal weight for over 5 years already... instead I'm sitting here regretting all the missed time.

Keep up the good work!
