Hello everyone!!

As of today I have lost 20.3 lbs! :bigsmile:
My goal for 2012 is to lose 100 lbs, and I am already ahead of where I need to be at this point! Very exciting.
I just want to encourage everyone, especially those just starting out, that this IS possible. You just need to stick with it and you will start to see results. :happy:
One thing that I have learned is that I need to listen to MFP and actually eat the calories they tell me to eat. Or at least close to it. It was telling me to have 1.720 calories but I was sticking to around 1,200. I was losing weight, but very, very slowly. The last 5 days or so I have been eating a lot closer to the 1.720 and I have been getting much better results! At first I was afraid to eat that many! But now, I am happy that I did! :drinker:

Everyone please feel free to send me a friend request, I hope to be an inspiration to people someday. I am here to support all of you in your healthy lifestyle/weight loss journey. :flowerforyou:

    Congratulations! I love, love, love reading success stories, progress stories, etc. It's a way for me to constantly reassure myself that things will take time, that weight loss can't happen overnight and that, even when I don't see the change, my body knows and can tell all on its own.
    It's hard to not be discouraged but I make it through reading things like this.
    Again, congrats! and good luck! =):flowerforyou:
