Pictures comparing last summer to this summer!

My BMI was 34.4. I took my measurements and nearly cried. I just couldn't get over how big I was. Of course, I knew I was fat but truly - I…

Goodbye obesity!
So today is the day I stepped on the scale and saw that I am now officially in the ranks of the "merely" overweight - OBESE NO MORE!!!! I have been gunning for this day for 6 months and I am pretty happy to be here. Until I started on MFP I had not weighed myself for many years and it was a real shocker to look that BMI in…
