PROGRESS PICTURES!!!! 33lbs GONE!!!

As promised, I have some progress pictures for you all!!! I am going to post some VERY embarrassing pictures of myself, so I hope that you truly appreciate it. I am proud of how far I've come [33.4lbs lost!!!] and want to lose another 16.4 to reach my goal weight :)

This first 2 pictures were the AHH pictures that made me realize i'd gone too far. I was at my highest weight ever!!! YUCK.

MAY 2010
Well, after initally freaking out, I put myself on a diet but didn't really know what I was doing. I just tried to eat "healthier" with more fruits & vegetables...but it didn't work because I was still eating WAY toooooo much.

Then, in July 2010, I ran across a site called My Fitness Pal that offers support/motivation/calorie counting & so much more! It was free & so I thought "why not, I'll try it, can't make things worse, right?" Well, the site [MFP] was truly a god-send for me. I have thrived in the friendly and motivating envirorment & lost 33lbs in exactly 6 months & still losing!!!!!!!!!

Ever since, I have been going to the gym 4-6 times per week, eating 1200 calories per day + calories that I earned from exercise & staying accountable to family & friends on MFP!!! I can't wait to post my final pictures soon!!!!


The next 2 pictures are after I lost 15lbs! I was feeling happy and a bit more confident, but knew that I was still 20lbs overweight.

    seriously! You are doing so good! I'm so proud of you! I need to be more active. I've been eating better, but not getting out and moving enough. It's so nice to have people with similar goals! Congrats on your loss!! I know those pics are "embarrassing" to you, but you still look beautiful! I will have to be brave and share my pictures when I get a little further along and have more to show for my efforts! :P
