    A year ago today I was holding my 5 day old baby, recovering from a c-section and coping with shingles. Today I am 15 days into another life changing event. I am officially 15 days into my permanent life style change and down 9.5lbs from where I was a lil over 2 weeks ago. The worse comparison between this year and last is the fact that I am still 8 lbs heavier than I was right after delivery. But hay I'm officially moving in the right direction.

    A year ago today I was about 20 pounds heavier and smoked almost a pack of cigarettes a day. I couldn't walk very far without being embarrassed because I could hear my self huffing and puffing.

    I didn't begin my journey until Feb 15, 2011. That is the morning I smoked my very last cigarette. I'm glad for this topic because, even though most of the time I am convinced I am moving at a snails pace, it's nice to be able to say that I am a non smoker and can actually walk for miles without becoming tired or extremely winded. I HAVE been making progress!!!

    Outstanding effort, well done

    A year ago today I was 10lbs lighter than I am now!!! Then my mum got sick, we nearly got kicked out of switzerland, my husband got arrested (and eventually cleared) for embezzlement, my daughter was sick in hospital for 2 months, then our new neighbours called the landlord because they said our baby cried all day without taking into account that 3 of our babies were only just 2 years old at the time and the landlord said we broke the rules of our rental by having not notified him that we now had 4 children , then I got cancer and had t have treatment then thinsg got better and better and now finally I'm able to say that I won't ever have a year like that ever again. There may be other crappy years on teh horizon, life is long but I'm not going to use food to fill the fear anymore. I'm going to use stress as a even bigger reason to take care of myself because right now, 18lbs down I feel invincible!!!

    One year ago...I don't actually know how much I weighed, because I was just too afraid of scales. Estimating, I think I was about 20lb heavier than today, at least.

    One thing's for sure- my eating habits were terrible. I ate at least two plates of whatever I had for dinner- usually pasta, cheese, potatoes etc. I used to have two baguette sandwiches for lunch.

    AND I hadn't yet fallen in love/hate with Jillian Michaels!! haha.

    1 year ago today I was preparing to celebrate my daughter's 4th birthday (she will be 5 tomorrow) I was also 5 months pregnant with my son :)
    I had no weight loss goal at the time because I was just focused on keeping my gain to a minimum (dr's orders) So by the end of my pregnancy I was happy to say I only gained 24lbs...the same exact amount I gained with my daughter!
    And now here I am trying to lose it all...

    Good luck everyone :)

    A year ago....I weighed 143lbs. At the time I was trying to lose weight, but was not very motivated. I thought I still looked good. Last year as I was trying to lose weight I actually ended up gaining - 20lbs. I weighed in around 163lbs back in May. I am happy to say that I am now back down to 145lbs and I look forward to passing 143lbs all the way to the 30's!

    Wow...awesome stories here!

    I was halfway through an 86 day 11,000 mile cross country trip. I was in San Francisco and steadily working my way up to my high weight of 193....

    Now, I am 24 lbs lighter (I'm a slow and steady kind of gal), determined to keep going to my goal. Eff you holidaze! You will not deter me from this life changing mission. RAWR

    :wink:

    I know that's right! Nothing's gonna stop me now, not even the holidays!lol

    Good question! And it is so good to look back because so much can happen in a year's time. Sometimes we get so focused on the day to day, we forget how far we've come. Last year at this time I was 9lbs heavier. Hard to imagine! The year before that at this time (2009) I was the same. 2011 has been a great year for me in my weight loss journey! Keep up the good work everyone!!

    I was about 2 months into my journey and about 85 pounds heavier than I am now. I think I started doing Zumba for the first time almost exactly a year ago. I might have gotten one or two comments on my weight loss, but most people didn't notice yet. Now they don't even recognize me.

    A-MA-ZING!! Great job lady! You look FANTASTIC!:-)
