Hi everyone!

I've been on this site for a while, but needed help making it through that second half... I'm 5'2" and started at 175.3 a year and a half ago. I'm currently at 147.8 and keeping hovering around here to 155 for the last year or so... Coming on this board helps keep me motivated so I wanted to participate. My first goal is 135 by this September and ultimately I'd like to get to 120. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

At my heaviest(175.3):

Some of my during shots:


Around 165 (2 months after MFP):

Around 158 (7 months after MFP):

    Great work!

    It's funny how losing weight makes people look so much younger.
  • Congratulations on the weight you've lost so far! You are doing great from the pictures posted, even if it has taken some time to get there. It isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. :-)

    Thanks everyone! Slow and steady wins the race right? I have to admit I didn't always stick with MFP for the last year, but am really dedicating myself to it this summer. Come September (I teach), I've got 3 flights of stairs to do everyday, several times a day, so I know I'll get some cardio in! :happy:
