Not quite to goal yet, but I promised myself I would post pictures in May no matter what, so here goes! Kind of wish I had fixed my hair, put on makeup and moved the dog dishes for a more glamorous look, but oh, well.

MFP has totally changed my ability to take charge of my weight and fitness. Logging and accountability are totally the keys for me. I'm a big fan of small deficit and slow, sustainable change. I NET between 1500-1700 calories per day, usually eating around 2000. I'm also a Type-I diabetic, and I try to keep my carbs to <100 grams per day.

I do strength circuits (mostly body-weight exercises) 3X per week and bike or run 3X per week. I also met one of my main goals a few weeks ago, which is to be able to do a pull-up. I can do 2, and plan to do a lot more!

Age: 33
Height: 5'7"
Start weight: 155 (153 in pics, January)
Current weight: 141.5

Starting measurements:
Bust: 36
Smallest Waist: 31
Belly: 35
Widest Hip: 42

Current:
Bust: 35
Smallest Waist: 28
Belly: 32
Widest Hip: 38

Goal weight 135 (or 26-inch waist.)
