100 lbs gone forever!

I finally hit a 100 pound loss! I honestly can't believe it, if someone would have told me a year ago I would someday weigh 100 pounds less, I'd slap them in the face and tell them to stop lying to me, hehe. I was obese since I was in Junior High, and it only got worse after High School. Anyway, it wasn't easy, and it's only getting harder. I started out with a BMI of about 40, my BMI is currently 28. I started out weighing around 280, I currently weigh exactly 180, and it feels so great. I am no longer "obese" .. I am in the "overweight" category, which is a lot better than obese. I have about 20-30 more pounds to go before I can truly be as happy as I want to be. I tried tons of different diets in the past, I don't know why this time it worked. All I did was eat better and do my cardio, nothing special. I'm not saying it was easy, but it was honestly fun, and I enjoyed the journey, although I don't want to have to do it again.

Ok, so here is a before and after picture for now... I will have another picture of me hopefully by the end of Summer with me weighing about 150-160! :)

 I started in October 2007, I lost a lot of weight during January - April because I had surgery to remove my Gallbladder, and it just caused some issues and I dropped most of my weight during those few months. And thank you for your comment!
