Today marks 365 days with MFP, and here I am! 365 days ago I decided to make some changes. What began as a New Year’s resolution turned into something much more. In these past 365 days:

I’ve lost a total of 89.8 pounds with a starting weight of 271
My BMI has dropped 15 points (and I'm THISCLOSE no longer being "obese")
I’ve gone from tight size 20 pants to loose size 14's
I've resized my wedding rings from a 9.5 to an 8
I ran my first mile without stopping
I completed two 5K events
I began cooking my own meals instead of eating out
I learned proper portion sizes
I gained energy that I had been lacking
I felt good about myself

There's so much more I could add, but for the sake of keeping things short, it's been a great year. Bring on 2014! :happy:

    WOW! You look wonderful. I am impressed with your committment. Your hard work has paid off in so many ways. What was your aha moment, what made you want it badly enough to stay with it? If you don't mind my asking.

    Obviously a year well spent!

    And you are an inspiration to all of us, and a testimonial to the power of logging.
