I started this journey January 2, 2012. It's been a little over a year now. I've faithfully logged my calories and exercise. I'm so glad to have found this website! What started out as a simple desire to lose weight has now turned into a lifestyle change. I still have a ways to go yet, but I'm proud of my success!

Unfortunately I do not have any before pictures because I was too embarrassed and refused to have anyone take my picture at my heaviest. I started out at 158lb. I am now down to 133lb :smile:

For exercise, I alternate between cardio and weight training. I do not do anything special for diet except I try to avoid processed food and sweets if possible. I also take dietary supplements to accelerate my weight loss and change my body composition.

    Congrats on all of your weight loss! I am where you were last year. I started at 160. I am down 3 lbs so far. I am just overall unhappy with my weight & uncomfotable in my own skin. I am using this site to help myself make better choices. I am not good at dieting, so instead I'm just trying to make better choices. I've never thought about how much calories were in what I was eating, now I am more aware of it. I will be happy to take any advise you have to help me through this!

    Your dedication is amazing and you look fantastic!!! I'm glad you're my friend! :smile: Quick question: how tall are you? Just curious, I'm 5'3", started out at 172 pounds, and am now 138. Hoping I can look like you by the time I reach a year on MFP!
