I have created a Video of my weight loss journey! I have still about 15-20 more to go. I know I said 10-15 before but I'm not sure yet, if you watch the video you'll understand what's going on. You will also notice I have changed my ticker from 120lbs loss to 110lbs loss, because my bathroom scale is way off, so I've tossed it out the window I will no longer go by that scale, I'll go back to using my Wii scale but as I said in my video, I am not really even focused on the number anymore, I rather go by my tape measure and the way my clothes fit.

    Thank you so much for posting the video. I am in tears. I am where you were in the beginning. I have let myself go and can't stand the way I look or feel. I am taking back my life one day at a time and i will get to that happy place again. You are an inspiration.

    It's good, if you made it just for MFP folks, it's great how it is. I like learning more about my MFP friends' lives.

    My comment would be, if you want a wider audience, make a version with only the slide show and song or with the slideshow and song first, then the commentary. Otherwise, I think you might lose strangers before they get to that part. Or shorten it down to a few comments related to weight loss, like how you felt about yourself.

    Also, people might want to know what the weight loss doctor told you, what if any medication you were given, and what your workout and calorie routines are. Although you did mention where to find you if they want to ask, which is good.

    Overall, great video! I totally relate to looking in the mirror and hating myself and telling myself so. Not a good way to live at all.

    Thanks, I'll redo it for a wider audience... I almost stuck the video of me talking at the end but wasn't sure lol. I don't take medications, I hate taking pills of any kind I'll suffer with a headache before I take a pill lol.

    Hey, that would be a great thing to mention somewhere in there, a lot of people think they need pills to lose weight. Doubly inspiring when someone loses that much without taking diet pills.
