I started down this path on August 1, 2011. I was at my highest weight (377) and starting to have health issues. This was June 2011:

I started working with a trainer several times a week and it has been worth every penny. He mixes things up and I don't get bored - very important when you have the attention span of a ....oooh, look...something shiny.

As of my 1 year mark, I've lost 80 lbs and 62.5 inches.

I've done things in the last year that I thought I wouldn't do - like crunches and push-ups. I flew for the first time in 4 years. And, I bought a bicycle and really enjoy it (when it's not 107). I've been in a little bit of a lull the last couple of months, but I got too comfortable so I'm trying to reset my inner voice to *kitten*-kicking.

Bring it on, year 2!
