I thought I could never lose weight...but I am..thanks to MF

28.8 lbs gone and 13 lbs from my goal! (PICS)First I want to say, I have the most AWESOME MFP friends ever!! You guys are so supportive and are a huge reason why I keep doing this every day. I have been more motivated by your stories, than I ever was doing it alone, and for that, I thank you. In February of 2012 I went to my health professional at work for an annual check up. She told me at that time that I was overweight and should "consider making a change." Tears stung my eyes when she said that. I mean to tell a girl, in so many nice words, that she is fat, is heart breaking. But like mama says, "the truth hurts," and I WAS FAT. It wasn't even about just being fat though; I live on the third floor of my apartment and would literally get light headed going up them sometimes. I have a little dog too, that deserves good exercise, that I just didn't have the energy to give. When I got on the scale at that appointment I weighed 210 lbs! yes! I am 5'2 and I weight TWO HUNDRED TEN lbs! By the time I started my journey (february, appt. was in december) I had gained another 1.8 lbs! So my starting weight was 211.8 lbs! So I decided to do something about it. At first I tried a diet, and it worked, but I just wasn't satisfied with it. My sister had been begging me to joing my fitness pal (thanks by the way) for months, and I finally logged on. After about the second week of doing it I got serious. No more "half way logging." I log everything I eat and do. And I love it.
Here is me about 6 months ago...





Here I am as of last weekend:







If I can lose wait I PROMISE YOU CAN!! I had no determination. Of course I still have a long way to go, but I hope this helps someone
