Well, I finally hit my goal weight just before my wedding and Aruba honeymoon - my main motivator for joining MFP originally. I lost 25lbs and got a lot stronger, which took me about 8 months.

I did a detailed post about my progress awhile back: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/564420-six-months-on-mfp-pics-and-why-you-should-weight-train so I won't repeat everything, just wanted to post a before and after pic now I'm at my goal!

Me in November 2011. 145-ish lbs (I started MFP in October at 150 lbs, but I didn't take a pic then)

Me last week in Aruba. 125-ish lbs.

    Thanks so much everyone!
    You look fabulous! Where did you get the bikini?

    It's from Victoria's Secret :)

    To those who asked about my food/exercise, please feel free to add me as a friend and I can tell you more...although it was a long journey of trial and error more than anything! What I found made the biggest difference was when I started weight training, and then I had another big breakthrough when I started focusing on eating clean, organic food as much as possible and cutting out processed stuff, preservatives, refined sugar, etc.
