    These pictures were before I joined MFP. At 5'6, my before photos were probably around 220 pounds (size 18) and my after photos are around 150 pounds (size 8).

    I was very dedicated to working out then! I walked/ran in the mornings for a couple of miles, ate a lot of vegetables, worked out at night, and learned moderation. I'm trying to get back into that mindset now. I, somehow, kept it off all these years. I have really strayed--eating lots of junk food, not working out, etc. I'm just assuming I must have really increased my metabolism!

    Oh, and I ate a small meal or snack every four hours and I ate within 30 minutes of waking up. I feel like it happened overnight, but it was probably more within a year or so. I've kept it off for at least three or four years now.

    WOW! This is great motivation for me! Right now I look just like your before pictures. I just recently got engaged and I am SUPER DEDICATED to my diet. Ironically I am almost a size 18; I am 200 pounds and my goal is to be 150 at a size 10...and hopefully a size 8 one day. Your story really motivates me to finally lose it all. Thanks so much! ^_^

    I assume it took a year to lose 95% of it before I hit my plateau. I walked/ran a lot, danced around my room like a fool, lifted some small weights (or cans of food), and used a friend's workout video (Body Bootcamp - Abs, Buns, and Thighs). I did not pay for a gym membership or join some food plan. I was just determined! I never realized how big I was getting until I lost the weight.
