My 2012 in Pictures :)

I'm ending this year happy, (more) healthy and confident. Lost 21lbs and feeling fabulous. Still got another 20lbs or so to lose but that's my goal for next year and I'm more than confident I can do it again
Here's my year in pictures:

January 2012
Weight: Somewhere between 170 and 175lbs
One of the pictures that kicked my *kitten* into shape when I restarted MFP.



June 2012
Weight: 164lbs(ish)
Just completed my first 10k walk, burned over 700 calories and raised about £130 for Cancer Research UK (for my dad who has Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia) Proud, and very wet and muddy, moment



September 2012
Weight 156lbs(ish)
First night out in Edinburgh after moving away from home to start my postgrad course - changed my eating and exercising habits before moving away so I could continue them after I'd moved, happy to say I've been successful so far



December 2012
Weight 151lbs
This was about 2 weeks ago at my work's Christmas night out - wearing a UK size 12 (US size 8, I think) dress and being showered with compliments from my workmates from back home and family on my weight loss. That's my favourite NSV...I know it probably sounds vain but it's amazing to hear people complimenting me on my hard work because it hasn't been an easy journey, far from it.



This year has been amazing and that's partly due to me joining MFP properly and getting my healthy lifestyle on track. Got a really good feeling about 2013 now.

Have a fabulous new year everyone :happy:

P.S. This is my 500th post in the forums so YAY...just throwing that in there
