600 Days of Logging on MFP (Many Pictures)

Today I am very proud to share my journey for Healthier Living thru exercise and eating. I started this journey in Nov 2010 not knowing that it would change my entire life. It has not been an easy road many ups/downs, but thru it all I continue to push with the help of my MFP family to get better with time. I've gained many friends here that support me on a regular..I have learned so much about exercising, foods, water, and how important it is to keep going. I would never have thought that looking back 600 days that I would have come from 207pds to 151pds....I am currently 5'4 /size 8-10 give or take. and still have about 15 or so pds to go but regardless I feel great with my accomplishment...Happy to be healthier. I never imagine that I would get excited to talk to others about eating healthier and exercise. I have accomplished, my first 5k here, Mfp Meetup in Miami, many personal friends, and earned my Certification to Teach Group Power and now an Instructor at my Gym.. The next step is to become a Personal Trainer get my Certification hopes of opening up my own fitness facility one day. I have always like to workout but now I LOVE IT...Thanks to you all for being great support whether it's my personal friends list or in the forums success stories.. I enjoy coming here everyday it makes working out and getting fit so much better.... Always take this journey day to day....as long as you keep looking forward it is nothing you can't do....I have loaded pics from the beginning up til today... Have a great Friday...

    I am super, super proud of you! Not only have you done something amazing for yourself, you have motivated and inspired so many of us along the way. You don't let naysayers, personal strife, or anything keep you off course. You get up, refocus, and keep moving forward. That's such an important attribute to have. I'm so thankful our paths crossed on MFP. You have helped me in more ways than you know. Thank you! No doubt you'll reach your new goals :)
