So it's been a year of tracking on My Fitness Pal. Learning what a portion size is, discovering new foods like quinoa and oatmeal and falling in love with old favorites like fruit. Finding out that yes, I am a runner. Becoming stronger and healthier and better, through small steps and some tangents, but always sticking close to my path.

I've lost 63 pounds. I've lost so many inches. I could go on and on about my story, but the old adage is true: a picture is worth a thousand words. Even though the first pictures I have came twenty pounds into the story, they still say a lot.

This before picture is probably at my highest weight, when I might have been even more than 195 pounds.
