Talking 70lbs off McFatty!!!

So I made it to 200 lbs, thought I would never get here. These last 10 pounds I have seriously fought for. I am proud. I'd put up a pic, but I'm gonna wait till I hit "onderland".

Been at my lifestyle change since July 13, 2010. So 8 months of dedication=70lbs. I am pleased. I feel really good. It is kind of crazy thinking I have lost 70lbs though. Most weight I've ever lost in my life. I remember being so depressed at the beginning of this, blaming myself for letting myself get so huge. At about 4 months in, I forgave myself. This I found really important.

Those of you on here who rant about loose skin, and fear losing weight because of this, please lose the weight anyways. So far, I don't have any loose skin. Besides, I'd rather feel the way I do inside healthwise with a little flappy skin than live inside my former fat prison.

I want to thank everyone on here, this site is a huge factor in my success.

Congratulations!!! I'm so glad that you stuck with it and were able to conquer those last 10lbs. The things in life that are worth fighting for are the things worth having. I can't wait to see your progress pics
