Good Morning. I just did my weigh in and after 1 year of working with MFP I am only 0.6 pounds from my goal. I started this journey when I realized that I was creeping back up to what I weighed when I was 9 months pregnant and knew I needed to do something. It has been slow and steady, but that is how we win this race. Right?
Goals:
Stop having my asthma control my life: I have now gone 1 year without being in the hospital. This is the first time since I was born.
Lose 43 pounds: I have lost 42.4 pounds
Other Accomplishments:
Pants Size 14 (start) - Size 4 (now)
Shirt Size L or XL (start) - Size XS (now)
Run not at all (start) - Run 7 miles (now)
Bike not at all (start) - Bike 20+ miles (now)
I can post updated pictures later. But I was happy to look back and see what I could do with 1 year of determination and not giving up.
Good Luck to all you out there just starting. You can do this.

Congratulations! What an amazing job! And you are completely correct! Slow and steady DOES win the race with weight loss. It's what gets the weight off and keeps it off in a healthy manner! Pat yourself on the back.0
