Success - Finally finding me!

This is my first official MFP blog. I have reached my first goal of getting down to a size 9, started my journey in Sept. 2010 at 208 lbs. Tried every workout imaginable and achieved a size 12 before stalling.

That was when I met Californiagirl2012 (Bobbie) here and on FB, she introduced me to Venus Index and ESE. When I started with Venus Index in Sept. 2012 I was 178.8 lbs and a size 12. Today...153 and finally wearing a size 9. Still not done by far with my journey, another 20 lbs to go but I know that if I stay on course and continue to follow ESE and heavy lifting 3 days a week I will get there.

I work as a Paralegal with an hour commute both ways, I run 3-5 miles at lunch and lift following my VI workouts 3 nights a week for right around an hour. While I have my share of DOMS, I love how my body feels when I get done and for hours after.

The women of Venus are the best, the community is the most supportive I have ever found. Hoping to meet many of the women and the creators of the program in May in Las Vegas. MFP has been the best FREE app for recording my calories and exercise, can't believe I have been using MFP for almost a year faithfully. Stay the course, without struggle there is not progress.

Thanks Mary, forgot to mention those "size 9's" are from you. I finally am able to wear a few pairs that you gave me. Next are the 8's. And I noticed after my post that they are CK not Levi but still.
