I started my journey Jan 19/12. As of 2 days ago I've lost 26 pounds. 5 on my own and 21 since I joined mfp. I'm a stay at home mom who was very unhappy with the way I looked. My daughter has had 2 major surgeries in 5 years and I ate my way through the stress of it. Once I got the OK that she was fine, I decided to start to take care of myself. I'll be 40 in Nov 2013, and I don't want to be overweight anymore.
I'm half way to my goal. I want to lose about 25 more to get to my goal weight.

This was taken June 2011, I don't have many "before" body pics, I've been the same weight for many years:

And this was taken a few days ago:

    I do cardio 6 days a week 40mins to an hour, lift weights 3 days a week. I eat about 1500-1800 cals a day and drink nothing but water.

    My diary is open to my friends so you can take a look.
