My 2012 Accomplishments!

I'm a student at the University of Florida and after my first year I added the "freshman 15 ...+5ish" to my already out of shape self. The day I came home for summer break I weighed in at 192 and tipping the scales close to 200 scared the *kitten* out of me! It's been slow, but I've made some excellent progress this year towards a healthier life. :)

In 2012, I've:

-Started running recreationally
-Ran my first 5K (Color Me Rad!) in less than 40:00
-Moved from "obese" to "overweight" on the BMI chart
-Gained control over my serious asthma problem
-Gotten much more comfortable in the kitchen
-Helped my family become healthier
-Met some AMAZING people on here to support me in my weight loss journey as well as the rest of my life
-Lost 32 lbs!

I'm 19 years old and I'm 5'4" FYI. I feel as though I'm halfway done. After the start of the new year and I've gotten my HRM I'm going to start Insanity to help tone and help the last little bit move along.

May v. December

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year to everyone! :flowerforyou: :happy:
