Wanted to post my first update ever & my story, pictures below and details.

Hello! I was too scared to post this on my personal reddit account but once i feel VERY comfortable, I will do it.

Anyways, back in February I finally realized i looked like shit and was big ever since I was 10-11ish.

STORY TIME!!!! (TL;DR at End)

I partially blame my Dad for getting me fat but blame the other half of myself for accepting it but I was a kid. Kept taking me to Chickfila after every school day and getting a milkshake (probably why I didn't say no :) ). Before this, I used to be the skinniest one in the grade and the 'star' of the grade (Was friends with everyone and loved talking to me), but soon after this, I kept going down in happiness and in friends. By 5th grade, I was at 120-140ish until about 6th grade. By 7 grade at 160. By this time, I quit getting the milkshakes (quit around 6th grade) but kept eating more and more and didn't care what I ate. By 8th grade I was 180 and couldn't believe it, I was the 5th heaviest kid in my grade and din't play any sports while 1-4 heaviest all played football and were linemen. Starting Freshman year i got the true taste of high school by being bullied for my weight (Now taken care of). I just got more depressed and depressed with my weight and my parents' divorce finally hitting me. I kept watching the weight go up and up just like time passing... 190.... 195..... 200.... 205. Finally in February I realized I didn't want to be like this, so I started by QUITTING soda (coming from only drinking soda and rarely water) and only drinking water with the occasional milk and tea. I got used to it for a week and lost 3 pounds in a week. I was proud of myself finally. Then I searched on Reddit for weight loss subs and found r/loseit. I downloaded MFP and put my goal for around 175 to start. My calories was 1500 and in all this time I only tipped once. I was determined to lose it (pun intended). I was in P.E. at this time and didn't care that much since it was required but worked my ass off in lifting and un running. By 2-3 weeks I was down to 195, A WHOLE 10 POUNDS! I kept working and by a week or two, 190. Then in two days I dropped to 185 somehow but went up to 190 shortly. I hit a plateau and was stuck. I kept with MFP until May and finally "quit". I lost my motivation... but not all of it. I still drink only water which keeps my weight in check (190-195), but I'm starting again. We booked a cruise next March and I plan to get to 160 (determined how much I grow by then) by then to hit my ultimate weight goal.

ANYWAYS, here is some pictures. Not until the other day I searched for a photo to show a friend on Facebook and came along a photo of myself at my highest (205) back in February before all of this happened. I just couldn't believe it.
