1yr anniversary on mfp

myiceisonfire

March 20th was my 1yr anniversary on MFP & I completely forgot. My goal was to go from 233 to 160 in a year. I made it to 188.6, only 29.6lbs away from my goal. I KNOW I could have lost that much in the last 5 months. But it's okay it's worth it

Maybe hubby & I can buy a SMALL cake and celebrate (kind of craving one anyway, hehe). I honestly wish I could be a lot farther on my journey, I lost 44.4lbs in 7months, took a month off, and then found out I was pregnant. I'm going in reverse now, but at least it's for a wonderful reason. I've still stuck around even though the scale is going up, & I will still be here after baby is born to watch it go back down.

My only fear is that I am only 4months pregnant & now most of my friends on here are almost to their goals. By the time I have baby they will be gone. These friends have been my main support system & I'm scared that once I lose them that I'll lose a lot of my motivation. Guess if they're gone then I'll need some new awesome friends So feel free to send me a friend request.

Congratulation on your pregnancy - and weight loss before that. I am sure that once you start getting of the baby weight you will find plenty of motivation in new friends

Honey, we are not going anywhere!! It's is a journey, not a race... whether or not I'm at my goal weight after you have the baby, I'll still be here for you. I know that if it weren't for the baby, you'd be much further along. You are so committed and doing so well. I know you can lose all that you want!!

I agree with Sherie, Sabrina. We aren't going any where so no need to stress about that. This is a LIFE style change and even if we reach our goals, we still have to maintain it :-) Sorry Girl, you are stuck with us for LIFE :-p
Once the bundle of joy and love comes we will be here waiting to get you back in tip top shape....we will be the flame under your *kitten*. LOL
You did it before and you will do it again...with all of us here supporting you, just as you supported us :-)

Congratulations on one full year on MFP and also the new baby!!! By the way, love the horses on the beach picture!

I would give anything to be where you are, we have been trying to have a baby for two years now. Be blessed with what you have and most everyone is here for the lifestyle change, not just until they reach their goal so you're friends will still be here when it is time to get back on track. Congrats!

Oh yeah... And I'm close enough to come baby sit!!

we're not going to "go" anywhere. even if I meet my goal and lose the last 20 lbs in the next 6 months, I'm still going to be training and running and maintaining and all that good stuff.

I'll just send you rocking bikini pics to motivate you

I don't plan on leaving!!! Plus now that I am preggers too that means I will be leaning on you for postpartum support :laugh: By the time I have baby you will have lost a lot of your weight.

You are doing great and I am proud that you have stuck with it this long!
