1 year and 17 lbs from my goal.. w/ PICTURES!

I realized just now that I've been on this fantastic site for a whole year! (Well, plus three days, but who cares about being THAT exact anyway.)

My name's Zoe and I go to UF. Yeah, I'm a college student AND I've lost weight. Some say it's impossible and clearly they're wrong.
Also, I'm 5'4" and at my highest I weighed 192, but as of today I weigh 148 lbs. :happy:

Here's high school me, which wasn't terribly healthy, but it wasn't my highest either. (And of course I'm sucking in here and trying to make myself look as flattering as possible.)
~170lbs - MARCH 2011


For my 19th birthday, my roommates and I went to Disney. The trip was great, but these pictures made me absolutely cringe. That medium t-shirt definitely should've been up-sized but I wasn't ready to face the facts.
~190 (I think) - APRIL 2012


After seeing those pictures, I realized what needed to be done. I went back home for summer vacation, signed up for MFP, and now I'm here.

I ran my first 5k in September 2012. I had lost somewhere between 25-30 lbs at this point.


Here's a few more comparisons from the past year that I've done along the way. Notice the face comparison after only about 20 lbs!




Here's about a week ago. I've lost about 43 lbs in this picture. I'm also wearing a medium t-shirt!
