Thank you all so much!

For those who asked how I did it.... here's how. I started off with just tracking my food. If I look back at my diary in those starting days and weeks I will still eating crap but being accountable for it. It was a huuuuge eye opener to see how many cals are really in the foods I was eating. I started making better food choices. I got back into walking and would walk about 3 - 4 times a week for about 20 min to start. At some point I started wanting to see what more I could do and I took up C25K. I occasionally did the biggest loser dvds but honestly most of my weightloss I think is from walking and then jogging eventually. I ran my first 5k on Thanksgiving and finished at 36:00. It felt incredible to cross that finish line. I was never overweight growing up. After I met my now husband we quit smoking together and I started emotional eating and gained about 80 lbs over the course of a year and a half. I did not own a full length mirror and didn't step on the scale. When I finally hoped on my scale before my wedding I could not believe I was at 258 lbs. Today I am at 162ish and looking to lose another ten lbs. Then the plan is to focus on starting a family.

Thanks to all my friends for the continued support. I am so proud of all of you!
