Today I logged in for my 365th straight day, however I have been on MFP since Jan 2011.

I was tagged on facebook in this photo on the day I decided to go on a cruise with my family

Initially I just wanted to lose weight for the cruise, I had 7 months to do so. Here are a few along the way.

These two were around March of 2011

I had lost about 70 pounds for the cruise and felt great. Someone asked if I was going to keep "dieting" when I got back, but by that point it was really about getting in shape. Here are a few from the cruise

    Lookin' good. I will never be able to be as small as a size 6 because of my bone structure, but I hope I am as successful as you with my weight loss. :)

    YES, that is exactly it I do not "diet" I never did!! I am pretty much at my goal but I wouldn't mind losing another 2-6 pounds :)
