Hi all....I have just been dying to be "good enough" to post my results on the success thread, and today I truly think I deserve to!
I started my journey to a new lifestyle on January 4th, yes as a new year resolution .What was so different this year, as opposed to every single other year that I had vowed to lose weight? The answer oddly enough is simple. I was fed up...enough is enough, I was done being miserable. I was blessed with a beautiful baby boy November 2008 and I could no longer keep up with him, how sad, I cant keep up with my 1 year old. In addition, my relationship with my then boyfriend now fiance (Yay!) was suffering. My misery and unhappiness with myself was being taken out on him. I whined and cried and was constantly moody, I blamed everyone but myself. I decided I was worth being happy, and that I wanted to feel sexy again for myself and for my fiance, and that I wanted to run anda dance with my son.
It's been 4 months now since I made the CHOICE to be happy and I have lost over 50lbs, 2 pant sizes, am making healthier choices both emotionally and physically. I am sooo much happier and full of life. Has it been easy? Absolutely not! But my dear dear friends on MFP have pushed me and encouraged the entire way and I couldnt have made it through this emotionally without them (shout out to my peeps-Over 200 club!) I am halway to my goal and I cant wait to be able to announce that I did it, because for me this time, there's no turning back!
Thank you so much MFP for allowing me to take my life back.....
Starting weight (1/4/10)- 255lbs
Current weight (5/6/10)- 202.4lbs
Went from a size 20 to a size 14
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR KEEPING ME INSPIRED!!!
Lots of love,
Cris
(I hope to post before and halfway pics soon!)
