Another year has passed and I'm still working on getting to my fitness goals. I didn't lose as much as I wanted to over the past year but I'm still heading in the right direction. I dropped 18 pounds total in 2012, may not sound like a lot but I'll take it!

My total weight loss since May 2011 adds up to 1 Megan, 1 Grace, and two 5 pound dumbbells.

From my last 5k - my 6th race finished in 2012. And 6th race ever started or finished in my life. :bigsmile:

I'm looking forward to big things (and smaller clothes) in 2013! Time to finish the job!!

    OK. I think I can figure out who Grace and Megan are, but who's the dumbbell? ;-)
    All kidding aside, you look fantastic and are a great inspiration to me! I want to begin running again and will use your post to help motivate me to do so. Many thanks.

    My doc said those slow-loss years are the ones that make people give up, thinking they just can't lose weight. The key is to stick through with it even when the going is slow. Good for you! Powerful loss, slow loss, doesn't matter which kind of weight loss--it all beats what the past years were for us. What u had was a maintenance year with bonus points!! Keep up the amazing work. U look happy and healthy and ur kiddos look like they're having fun with an active papa.
