12 pounds lost

I am one of those girls I have never been considered skinny but I have also never been considered fat....always just average. I have been extremely active my entire life, but because I had no control with portions I never had my "dream body". I am getting married in April and starting in October 2012 I had enough and friends encouraged me to try this site. I am so grateful I did. I was able to learn about how much I ate and how much (beer) I drank was ruining my diet. I have lost 12 pounds in 4 months which doesn't seem like a lot, but I have lost over 2 inches in my waist.
