From 253 to 199!

This is my journey so far...In 2010 I broke my neck in a car wreck and was very lucky not to die or have been paralyzed! I was in a halo for 3 months and my muscles in my back and neck took a whooping!! When I got out of the halo I realized that in order to deal with the pain without all the pain meds I had to strengthen my muscles back up which meant exercise! Not something that I wanted to do so I lived with the pain and enjoyed being alive which led to my normal weight of 220 to balloon up to somewhere between 250 and 260 lbs! So on January 1st 2012 I began my lifestyle change and this is the outcome!
First pick July 2011(253lbs), Second Pic is when I joined Mfp which was May 2012 (233 lbs), and third pic was today (199 lbs)!

I change everything! At first I didnt diet and exercise but when I found MFP I really started exercising and watching what I eat. Dont get me wrong though I didnt give up what I liked I just watch the portions better now and try to workout everyday!
