Hello my name is mindy, Im 24 years old and I started my weight loss journey in January of 2012. In my beginning years of college I weighed 127 and was a size 0. One fiancé , and a baby later I plummeted to 160 pounds. Yikes. And the worst part was that I was so blissfully happy being in mommyland the first year that I hadn't noticed my weight gaining at all until it showed in my pictures at my several of my friends weddings the summer and fall of 2011. So when New Years rolled around I knew exactly what resolutions I was going to have! I joined mfp, logged my meals everyday, worked out religiously and ran every day. By may of 2012 I had lost 20 pounds, which put me at 140. I got comfortable in my new size and weight and quit working out and really sank into a comfort zone again, I put on 5 lbs putting me at 145 for the rest of 2012. That time rolled around again where new years resolutions are made and I realized I had only settled for accomplishing part of my goals I had set at the beginning of 2012... So 2013 was all about finishing what I started and I went in with guns blazing. I started January 2013 weighing 145 and got down to 129 by April 2013. I ran in the warrior dash, the color run, and the glow run, and I am signed up for more coming in the fall! Its now July 2013 and I am sitting at 131.8 (summer makes it easy to slack off a little, right?) UGW is 123. My goal weight has changed a few times. When I first started I was shooting for 130, when I hit 129 I thought why settle? So I looked up for my height and one site told me I should be between 117 and 136, So 123 is totally doable and Idk why but I like the number, so Its what Im going for! I was going to upload my beginning photos and my progress so far but I cant figure it out! lol
