And although it was a challenge to get into the mindset in the beginning, looking back that has been the easiest and best year ever .. I never thought I'd say that

My target loss was 48lbs, I'm now 54lbs down and been trying to hit maintenance for 3 months

I feel like that fish in Nemo .. "Just keep logging"

I started off as overweight, mildly asthmatic and chronically lazy and I wasn't very happy being that
* In October I did my first full push-up in my entire life .. I do sets of weighted and dynamically adapted push-ups now
* As of this year I managed a pull-up .. I'm amazed by that
* I lift and workout regularly and my musculature is absolutely getting there
* My cardio fitness is great, I can run for a bus and chase my kids and dance all night.
* I'm a UK 10-12 (US 6-8) I look great in clothes, and out of them and I actually enjoy clothes shopping now
* I have bikinis for my summer holidays
* I haven't taken asthma meds in months and I haven't had a panic attack in forever

I'm a 48 year old mother of 2 and I no longer feel middle-aged .. It's like I've been given a new lease of life and that swagger I had in my 20s .. it's back

It feels natural and normal now

    You are an inspiration to me. Did you have a set amount of weight to lose every month? Or did you just start eating healthier and exercising and what you lost was good? It took one year for the 54 lbs? Thanks
