30 days in as of 12/25 & 15.5 lbs gone

Options
I have decided that I want to post something to tell my progress every 3 months. I started on MFP back on the exact date of 9/25/12 so as of 12/25/12 made my 3 months on this website. I weigh every Tues morning and am now down 15.5 lbs & no telling how many inches-ALOT I am sure. It was originally 17.5 lbs lost but I gained 2 lbs when I weighed in on Christmas morning but I know that it was all due to the snacking and eating etc..on Christmas Eve and days leading up to it. I love MFP so much!! I have a wonderful group of supportive friends and I couldn't have made it this far without them. I have never in 34 years of my life had a gym membership and have now had one for the last past 2 months. All I do is try not to go over 1500 calories a day, I workout (nothing strenuous) anywhere from 4-6 times a week (45-50 min at a time) , lots of water & I would like to add that I do eat whatever I want and have since day 1. I do not tell myself NO to anything..BUT...I do eat only the serving size of that food I crave. I do have plenty of days where I have went over the 1500 calories I allow myself daily, but the next day I am right back on track!!! I can't wait to see where I am in 6 mnths and then a YEAR!! I will take the 15.5 lbs down in 3 months-Makes me sooo proud!! I am only 4'10 so I am a shorty and want to loose a total of 60-65 lbs..Well, guess what?? 15.5 of that is GONE & I won't let it return!! If I loose more than 60-65 lbs, that is all good too... :love:
