Ok, I wasn't going to do this until I have a flat belly, but that's not going to happen any time soon, so I thought I'd celebrate my 100 pounds lost with a forum post! I started in June/July of 2009, after seeing this picture:

If you'd like to see what a typical day is like for me (well, sort of, this was a big workout day, but it's close enough) look here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/ickybella/view/my-day-a-picture-diary-67758
I just count count calories and work out. I don't have any amazing secrets, except MFP and its wonderful, supportive community. I had quit losing weight (or even trying) for a few months before I found MFP and I am so grateful for this site! I only wish I had found it sooner so I didn't look like a blob of marshmallow fluff with sausages for arms at my wedding! :ohwell: Also, right now, I am training for a half marathon and have just finished phase 1 of P90X lean. I have done Jillian Michaels videos and completed c25k. I ran a 5k in January as well, and am seriously proud of that, but the real success happened today, when my husband had to ask me to open a jar for him. :laugh: I opened it easily, in case you were wondering.![:wink: :wink:](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/wink.png)
Anyway, this is the smallest I've been since before puberty and I plan on getting even more toned in the coming months. I will be using MFP for the rest of this year, at least, while I'm training for a marathon, and definitely until I am certain I know how to maintain. I couldn't have done this without you guys, so thank you so much! :flowerforyou:
