A little over 1 year - 67 pounds gone!

Options
I started a life style change in July 2011. My baby girl was turing 1 and it was time to get rid of the baby weight (and some pre-baby weight!)

The first several months I did not exercise much, mostly counted calories. In September 2010 I found Jillian Michaels and several months later, Zumba. Now I incorporate both and have just started New Rules of Lifting for Women as well.

This is an awesome site with so many supportive people, thank you all! Thought I might post a few photos - I know looking at everyones success stories helps us all keep on track!

July 2011 - I had joined MFP maybe a week before - about 225 here

July 2012 - about 165

August 2012 - last weekend, ready for a bridal shower in a dress I never would have worn for the past several years

I hope the photos work, I have never tried this before.

Keep up the hard work everyone!

    Thanks for sharing. My starting weight was a couple pounds more than yours and I'm 8 pounds from my goal of 175. You've inspired me to set another goal of 165 after I reach my first one.

    Great Job!!!

    For the pictures to show, use the link with IMG tags. Copy and paste in your post BUT change the IMG to lower case img. Don't forget both sets of tags.
