Hi as I've been here a year I thought I would post some pics of my progress! I've not quite got to where I wanted to be but I'm almost there.

Here's me at 18 (I'm 29 now)

This is me in 2008 just after having my second baby at my best friends wedding. It was a very bad time for me as she had wanted me to be a bridesmaid and I pulled out when she came in with a tiny clingy size 14 dress. It put a lot of pressure on our friendship but I was just to embarrassed to tell her there was no way I would fit that dress.

Me February 2011 when I had just found mfp I was 210lb

My Mums birthday may 2011 this is when people started noticing I was about 170lb

Yesterday with my daughter 145lb

So that's my journey so far I'm still not where I want to be but I'm the smallest I've ever been. I'm sorry if the pics are big but I've been doing this with my phone.

    Amazing progress! Imagine the "old you" trying to climb onto that motorcycle -- it probably would have been impossible. Thanks for sharing!

    Amazing! You look so much "lighter", not just in body but in attitude. And you're so pretty!
