I know I haven't yet reached my goal, but I thought I would post here as I am *so* proud of myself!

With MFP and my wonderful friends and supporters that I have met here, I have lost the most weight I have ever lost, and I am around the same weight that I was when I was 16 (I'm 24 now).

Before now, I had lost 28lbs, but I received some really bad news which made me overeat and put all the weight back on.

This time, I was determined to not let anything get in my way - I lost my dad last week, and instead of eating none stop, I have thought about things and I KNOW I don't want to be that big lump at 265lbs again. I must admit, I haven't been eating the most healthy foods that I could, but I'm still losing weight slowly.

I can't wait to be in the right frame of mind and get back onto it properly, exercising and preparing lovely fresh food :) anyway, back to the point, here be my progress piccies!

Me at around 260 (end of July 2011)

Me at 224.6 (goal is 224!) February 27th 2012

I know it kinda turned out to be like a blog, but I hope you enjoy reading! I take a picture at the end of every month - if you don't take pictures already, do it! it is a FANTASTIC motivator!
