My first post with pics of MYSELF! First- thank you to everyone here who has been so supportive- you've been a HUGE part in helping me stay on track! I'm an MFP'r for life!!
I started my journey exactly one year ago today, May 10, 2012 – with a whopping 75-80lbs to lose. I’m happy to say, that with a complete change of my diet, and watching portion control, as well as exercise and MFP for tracking… I reached my goal of 80lbs lost just last week. Of course now that I’m here, I’d like to lose another 10… but I’m very proud of the 80 I lost (never to find again!) in that year. And to celebrate my milestone, I am running my first 5K bright and early tomorrow morning. It’s a Mother’s Day run – the perfect way to celebrate this victory!
Here are some pics of my journey… and if I can do it- anyone can! For real!!!
Xmas time 2011 - at my heaviest (240lbs!) still hadn't decided to do anything yet!
Just a week or two into my new LIFESTYLE!
About 3.5 months in-- swimming was a HUGE help to me! Training for an event in the fall.
I did it! After swimming all summer, I completed a mile (in 45 mins) and raised over $1500 for women with cancer (lost my own mom to breast cancer 10 years ago).
Xmas 2012 - 1 year later and down 70lbs! I can't believe the difference between the top photo and this one!
Me and my AWESOME husband (biggest supporter ever!) - just a few weeks ago! GOAL!!!
If I can do it- so can you. Married, working mom of 2 small children, who finally decided to eat right, get off my *kitten*, and start livin'!! It's hard work, and takes time and dedication- but it can be done!! Thanks to all my awesome friends on here!
