Hello all! I cant believe it's been 6 months of maintenance already! I am 5'5.5" I started my weight loss journey at 180lbs in April of 2012 and hit my goal weight of 128 in August of 2012. I have two children (ages 4 and 2). I lost my weight with a combination of eating clean (1400 cals daily), running (yes I am a runner!!), and lifting weights. Maintenance is hard... enough said. Of course I have had to deal with the little gains here and there, but I am halfway to keeping this weight off for a whole year! I still track what I eat and my exercise. I love the new me and the confidence I have now! Here are some pics of my journey.
