I'll try not to bore you with my story.
Facts:
1. I started on MFP May 2011 at 197.6 pounds
2. I am 68 lbs down as of this morning - so, I'm at 129.6 lbs
3. I'm not sure what I want to be my final weight. I figure I'll know when I get there.
4. This new healthy lifestyle has changed me so much, that I am going to start school for a program that will prepare me to become a certified personal trainer.
5. I have posted progress pics before, but never these type of pictures that show me in "real life" situations. I'm nervous.

Here are some pics. Keep in mind that I used to hate taking pictures, so some of these aren't even me at my heaviest! Some date to way back in 2006, but this is all I could find (yeah, THAT's how much I hated taking pics).

Before:

Back in 2008

Not my heaviest, but I was on my way there:

2009, I believe

    WOW!! What a transformation. You are an incredible, strong woman! You must be so proud of yourself. That kind of weight loss is a major accomplishment. If you can do that…you can do anything in life.

    This morning, I'm toasting my cup of coffee to you. I have no excuse for these pesky 15lbs. You're my hero!

    You look amazing. I joined a little bit before you and had roughly the same amount of weight to lose as you did. I kinda slacked off at my half way point. If you lost 70lbs in under a year, I know I can reach my goal. THANK-YOU for being an inspiration!
