I've been logging for a year!! In 2012 I learned that I'm capable of something I never thought I could do. What an awesome feeling to know that I'm not stuck being FAT and unhappy. I have a long way to go but I will NOT give up!! To those of you who think it's impossible... YOU CAN DO IT!!! :)))

I don't know how much of a difference you all will be able to see in these pics, but the difference I see is beyond anything I imagined I could do!!


SW: 347 lbs
CW: 297 lbs

I really wish I could've accomplished more this year, but I'm proud of what the work I've put in. Can't wait see what this year has in store for me!!

    Slow but sure wins the race. And you're more likely to achieve the results in the long run. Well done!

    I would guess that you are already finding it easier to move around! You have lost more than 10% of what you weighed, so you should be seeing other benefits too, like lower blood pressure and more stable blood sugars! Keep up the very hard work! Day by day. Add me if you would like!

    No apologies for losing about 50 pounds in the year. At about 1 pound per week, you are probably doing it right. More importantly, as you drop the pounds you have probably found and will find that you are able to do more which can lead to a period of faster weight loss.

    Keep it up.

    Wow what a great result! And it's good you're not crash dieting, trying to drop weight faster than is natural is a dangerous game; I've done dangerously under-cal fad diets and yeah, super quick results, but as soon as you try eating normal food again your brain 'clicks' and you binge eat like crazy! (or at least I did lol.) it's not worth it; just think as you gradually lose each little bit you're learning more about what works for you and what foods/excersize are best for your lifestyle. :) you've made such amazing progress and hopefully 2013 will once again be 'your year!'
