1 year here - 47 lbs gone

Today marks my 1 year anniversary of using MFP. I'm down 47lbs and at least 24 inches (although I didn't start taking my measurements until Feb. 12 so I don't know the actual number of inches). I've gone from 256 to 209, and a size 24 (pants) and XXL (shirt) to a 16 and L. But I have to admit that the biggest change and one I never expected to make, was to go from taking a zumba class to actually teaching the class! I got my license in April and have been teaching ever since!

I still have about 25lbs to go until I reach my original goal. At that point, I'll see how things are going and decide if I want to keep losing. Its been about 7 years since I've been anywhere close to being at these numbers on the scale, I almost forget what its like.
