I was in denial about how much weight I had gained until I saw pictures from my brother-in-law's wedding in St. Thomas November 2011 (Blue dress):

Shortly after this, I went to the doctor for a check-up and the reality set in: 162 lbs. At 5'4, I was overweight and unhappy. I had joined MFP back in October before the wedding, but did not keep up with it. This time, I decided to stick with it.

Here are more "Before" pictures not too long after I started MFP (I'm about 160 here):

And calorie counting really worked for me! I did not deem any food "off-limits" as this is what has always derailed me other times. I ate pizza, ice cream, french fries, cheeseburgers...just as long as they fit into my weekly calorie goal.

Here I am at 148:

Here at 128:

And here is me today, at my goal of 115:

I am now starting to weight train, as I want to tone up and maybe add a few pounds of muscle :)

I lost 47 lbs with MFP! You can too!

    well done, you look fantastic! I'm doing the same as you - not changing the types of food I eat, just the quantities - so it's great to see you having success with that! :)

    You have accomplished what I thought was inpossible - befoe I found MFP, You were either brave or determined with your pictures at 162. I called you brave, because I don't want a record of what I looked like at my heaviest (208) And the term determined was because it is obvious you wanted a record of what you looked like, so you would not go into self-denial again.
    I lost eight pounds with a dietician, then she told me about MFP. I'm with you, nI list what I have eaten, and stick to my daily calories 1200, I can;t lost unless I exercise daily. A couple of days ago, I fractured my arm & the doc said no exercise. I am going to follow you lead, and stick to the calories until I can exercise.
    Your pictures at 115, are fantastic. Congrats.
