I started MFP in July 2011 with a goal of losing 35pds. Along the way I learned a whole lot about eating right, fell in love with lifting weights, and met some pretty amazing people whom I've become close friends with. I reached my goal of 35 pds down in November 2011, but I started focusing on lifting and becoming stronger in September, so i was going to wait until I finished a full round of NROLFW before post my "after" photos.
However, I had an event this past Saturday for a charity I volunteer for, and I went back to look at some photos from last year. I am stunned by the difference in myself. It is a really good feeling for me to know that I've worked hard to get to this point now, and it feels good to be able to say I'm happy where I am. I've maintained my goal weight for 4 months now, but I continue to lose inches with lifting
I'm not finished by any means, but my goal has changed... I just want to continue to be healthy, continue to lift, and continue doing something for me that I enjoy.
So pictures are always more fun to look at then reading stories, so here ya go!
