in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone! I am new on MFP. I started y "lifestyle" chance May 15 weighing in at 193. 7 weeks later I am at 165. I am religious about working out, I don't eat after 7 pm, I only drink water, and I cut all portions in half. I also don't eat when I am not hungry (sounds simple, but this is a HUGE deal for me!) Here is a before/after pic. I still have a long way to go (goal is 145)!

First time posting pics on this site, bare with me!

    Thanks for the warm welcome! And all the Texans makes me happy!

    I lost 20 pounds in the first month, which I thought was insane! This second month it has came off slower, but I still notice a big difference in how my clothes fit. I went from drinking 6 dr peppers a day, to none. I think that has helped a ton. And I don't even want it anymore, my body craves water! Also, I would eat really late at night (10-11pm) so that has been a big change. But I have noticed that I sleep so much better now.

    Welcome! That's amazing that you've lost so much in such little time. It sounds like you've approached it much the same way I did - I cut out that 6+ cans of pop a day and oh man, those pounds just came off. Anyway, I'm not from Texas, but I consider DFW my second home when I get to visit my man there. :)
