Today it has been one year since I joined MFP and started dieting. It's hard to believe that A) I've stayed on this train and kept losing weight and B) what a change only a year (its gone so fast!) can make.

In Jan. 2010: I was definitely over 200 and pretty unhappy with the way I looked along with plenty of other things in my life.

Now, so much has changed. I've lost just over 80 lbs. I feel better, look better, feel good ABOUT looking better. I met my weight goal somewhere around the holidays and managed to keep going for a bit. I'm working on transitioning into maintenance. I have plans to start studying to become a certified personal trainer and wellness coach. My whole family is losing weight and feeling good and making big, good, permanent changes! I'm excited to have been a part of it and to continue seeing progress in the way that I look as I tone up.

So to everyone on here just starting out, you can totally do it. You just have to find a pattern and a plan that you can stick to.

Happy anniversary to me! :drinker:
