Here are my before and after pics. I started at 260 lbs. (possibly higher since I avoided the scale at my highest weight). I am currently at 160 lbs. Still have another 40 lbs. to lose!

First pic is me now @ 181 lbs. Second pic was me @ 280 lbs.

I noticed a few months ago that my scale was acting strange and it had about a 5 pound weight fluctuation. I would step on the scale and it would be really high, then I would step on it again a few minutes later and it would be really low. So I bought a new, expensive, and more accurate scale, and I went home and found out…

Congrats! I remember when I stepped on the scale and saw a one instead of a two! I actually thought for a second there was something wrong with my scale because I hadn't seen the 100's in almost 10 years! Once I was under 200 there was no turning back! I wish you the best of luck on your journey, and keep up the awesome…

Every couple of weeks when I have my "cheat" meal, I go over to this awesome steakhouse right down the street. I get a 9 OZ. Prime rib, a baked potato, and giant mug of Stella Artois, and I am in heaven! Can't wait til next week.....haha

Oh how I LOVE fruit! I eat at least an apple, an orange, and a banana everyday! I was a little concerned at first about all the sugar, but I have been fine. Still losing weight at a steady pace, and not having any health issues. Better than eating processed sugars!

You can add me if you'd like! I'm only 5'2, but I log on daily, and I'm totally drama free! :)

I know exactly how you feel. My house is filled with tons of junk food! I personally do not purchase it, but other adults in my home do. The trick is making sure that you have your own healthy snacks around for when you are hungry and making sure you control yourself when you are around the junk food. It takes a lot of…

My husband and I have been in several arguments over the past 10 years, and NOT ONCE has the thought ever crossed my mind to insult him, nor has he ever insulted me. I have had hurtful things said about me by other people in past relationships, and let me tell you, those words still haunt me to this day. Words cannot be…

I'm 26, and I started out at 260 pounds. It has been a long, but very rewarding journey for me! Anyone can do it with hard work, and dedication! If you need any advice or motivation, feel free to add me! :)

Amazing job!!

Feel free to add me! I'm on a similar path as well! Good Luck! :)

I'm 5'2 and I completely understand where you are coming from! Feel free to add me!

Anyone is free to add me as well! I will try and support in any way I can! Good Luck on your journey! :)

Anyone is free to add me as well! I had a total of 140 pounds to lose! Still have another 100 pounds to go! I feel like it's going to be a very long journey ahead of me, and it's easier with more friends for motivation!

I just started using MFP, but here are my before and after photos from when I weighed 260 and my weight now, 215. I can't seem to find any full body photos of myself because I refused to take photos of myself before. I still have a ways to go, but here is my progress! These photos are so inspiring! Keep up the great work!…
