10 months, 63lb gone forever (PIC)

I started this journey on 4th Jan 2012 as a new years resolution and if I am being totally honest I was not sure I would stick to it...
Fast forward 10 months and I have logged in for 310 days in a row and lost 63lb
I still have another 7.5lb to go maybe a little more but I wanted to post a story with the hope it will inspire
The mains things I have learned are:
*This is not a diet it is a lifestyle change, sometimes you will have an off day but thats ok and make sure you allow yourself treats so you dont feel deprived and end up having a massive binge!*
*It is not a quick fix and it will take time and dedication but the results are definately worth it!*
*You do not need to eat really realy low levels of calories to lose weight, I realised pretty quickly that I could not sustain a 1200 limit and I increased this slowly over time and my body adjusted and my metabolism increased, I now eat anywhere between 1800-2000 calories I am still losing*
*Listen to the advice and feedback that others have to give and make sure you give it back - the support network I have on here has been amazing*
When I first started my goal seemed so far away but now it is so close and I am proud of what I have achieved
DO NOT GIVE UP, YOU CAN DO IT!!

Very nice! I LOVE seeing people's progress pics!
I also like how you pointed out that you were eating more than the (what goes around here as) typical 1200 calories a day. I don't know why people get so stuck on that number
