A pound away from 20 gone!!!

lbissett79

I am only 1 pound away from losing 20. I have lost 12.4 since I started MFP but near 20 overall. I am starting to notice things getting easier at work. I notice I want to walk from one place to another. I have been exercising everyday and loving the way it makes me feel. Yesterday, I rode a bike for the first time in 15 years and then got home and wanted to see how fast I could run a mile on the treadmill. I was able to complete it in 11:05. Not that great yet but 3 weeks ago I couldn't say mile without heavy breathing. I had to average 5.5 mph to get that mile done!! Anyway, just wanted to share my story with y'all. To all those who think they are not capable of breaking a food addiction, I say you are wrong. I was as addicted as they come and I have been able to kick the habit!!!!!

LOL, too funny!

Congrats on all your hard work! That is really awesome. So glad when I meet other people who know that weight loss and a healthy lifestyle is about way more than a number on a scale!

That is awesome!! Keep up the great work. I find once I got past a 10 pound weight loss, it's getting easier for some reason. I have 12 off so far since Jan 4, 2011 and I am treating myself to a new outfit at the 20 pound mark. I know what you mean you want to do more by walking, etc. I love this energy I have, I have a hard time sitting still now. Keep up the great work!! We are all on this site for the same reason and to support each other.
