This is the first time I have posted progress pictures. I just have to say WOW, I can't believe how much of a difference 68 pounds could make. The picture of my face and blond hair was taken at my heaviest right before I started myfitnesspal. The picture of my face with brown hair was taken today. The full body picture that has # 70 on the front of the shirt was taken when I was probably about 15 pounds from my heaviest. The other two full body pictures were taken today! I can't thank the myfitnesspal community enough for helping me stick this out. I still have a lot to go, but when I compared pictures today, it was unreal the change that I have made already!!!!!!

    I feel so blessed by the people on here, and I could not be where I am today without all of you! The thing that has amazed me the most is that this has been in a little under 4 months. I feel like I am not even trying, and the weight is just coming off. I hadn't planned on the weight loss to be this quick, but I will take it how I can get it. This site has truly changed everything about my life!!!! I am so HAPPY with me now, I don't know how I will feel later!!!!! Thanks again!

    From tying my shoes, to walking to class, to keeping up with my 10 month old nephew that just started walking, to carrying my stuff to my bedroom at my parents house. Everything in life is easier. My brother said I don't waddle like I used to either!!!!!! I feel AMAZING!!!! I love myself too!!!!!!!!!

    Wow! You were gorgeous before, and you are gorgeous now! Great job ! It is really cool to see how far you have come! I have my scariest "before" pic posted right on the front of my fridge! I hate it, but it keeps me in check, most of the time- haha! Keep up the great work!! What diet plan are you doing? I had lapband, but still need to learn how to eat right. Making small improvements every day thanks to all of myfitnesspal friends!

    Lol, my sister just told me last week that she was glad I don't waddle anymore but never told me I did in the past b/c she didn't want to hurt my feelings.

    I'm so happy for your progress. Keep up the great momentum. :flowerforyou: :heart:

    Well I am just using this website and staying within my calories. I haven't taken anything as far as a diet plan. I would say I changed my life. I don't eat fast food, and if I do, I know what I can eat before I go. When I go out to eat, I always look to see what I can eat prior to going out. I work my tail off in the gym usually 5 days a week. I am just using the simple method of calories versus calories out. I eat a lot more fruits and vegetables than I did before, and I watch what I put in my body like a hawk. I am always reading food labels and wondering if things are really worth eating. I used to eat my emotions, and I don't seem to do that anymore. My dog went missing last week, and I didn't eat. The old me would have went to McDonalds and got 3 double cheeseburgers, fries, and a pop and cured my pain with food. Not anymore. It is just a life style change. A life change is the hardest thing to do, but to me seems the easiest once it is set in place.

    :flowerforyou: Congrats! How long did it take you to lose what you've already lost? What was the biggest change you made and how has it affected you? How long did it take you to rid yourself of those bad habits and get on the right track?
