Looking back at how far I've come, it's hard for me to believe even now that I've become what some would call a "success story". But that's exactly what I feel like. I never thought I would get here. (Also, sorry for the craptacular photos!)
I've lost 57 lbs. total, but 45 since joining MFP 7 months ago. It's been a long road of struggling, triumphing, learning, denial, self-doubt, losses, gains, debilitating fear, and insurmountable joy. But it's all been worth it.
I don't want to bore everyone with my entire life story leading up to this point, so I'll just share a few quick facts for those who may be curious.
- This is the lowest weight I've ever been in my adult life.
- My BMI is a healthy 22.2! (can't believe it!)
- I'm 5'5"
- I have NOT cut out all "bad" foods, as I'm a firm believer in moderation. But I virtually drink NO soda or sugary drinks, I stick to mostly lean meats (93/7 ground beef, ground turkey, and chicken), and I try to stay away from fast food as much as possible.
- Jillian Michaels has changed my life. I bought her 30 Day Shred video back in February and haven't looked back. After completing it, I did it a second time all the way through, then moved on to Ripped in 30 which I've done exclusively for the past few months.
- I also run on the treadmill a couple of times a week when I'm just in the mood to zone out and listen to music.
I could not have done this without MFP and the awesome, encouraging, supportive people here. I also have to give huge credit to my husband who has supported me all the way. Thank you all so much!
Eat (well), drink (smart), and be merry (always)!
