Today marked my 100th consecutive day of logging on MFP. As of this morning's weigh-in, I've lost 32 lbs in that time, and coincidentally, today marked my passage from the "overweight" BMI category to the "healthy" BMI category!

50+ Lbs Gone - Still working on it....
This is my first time posting photos - let's see if I can get it right. Here is me where I started, over 220 lbs and squeezing myself into size 18 misses clothing: ETA: Close-up of me heavier - when I look at this, I'm appalled! This is me this past Saturday.

Hi, my name's Jamie. I'm looking for a few more friends who log-in daily. I haven't been on here that long, but I came here from Fitday - I'm no stranger to tracking my food and exercise. I'm 30, married, and a mom of one. I work full time and go to school part time. I'm trying to break my yo-yo dieting habit by learning…
