24 Pounds lost
I hope this works out right. These first two are from last year, I believe February 24, 2011. I was roughly 148 pounds. And these last two are April 28, 2012, at 124 pounds.

RECIPES!!
Hey guys! :) So lately I've been looking for new, healthier things to try. And since I'm pretty sure that dumping a bunch of ingredients on the counter and seeing where my imagination takes me can only go so far, here I am asking for fairly low-calorie recipes.

Health tips?
Hey everyone!! I've been calorie-counting using MFP for about a month and a half now, and so far I've lost about ten pounds. :) YAY!! So, anyway, I've gotten to the point where I try not only to lose weight, but to make healthier choices (because I see this not as a diet but a health intervention, I want to like myself for…
