I saw this photo the other day it says "if you're tired of starting over, stop giving up". This really spoke to me because I started my weight loss journey the beginning of 2012. It seemed like ever time a circumstance arrived (i.e. injury, loss of job etc) I would throw the towel in and just eat what I wanted and drink 1000's of calories of soda, all while sitting on my butt.

So I turned 30 on May 6th and decided that I had, had enough of this. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I started by cutting out all sodas. A month later on June 5th I started C25k program, and havent looked back yet. I've only lost 5lbs since the 5th but inches are flying!

I would love supportive friends if y'all want to add me.

Can y'all see the difference? I need to do a full body shot so I can see there too :)

    I can definitely see the difference! You look great! You also look so much happier and more confident. Way to go for jumping in and making some big changes! I definitely know what you mean about making every excuse possible. I, too, have recently just gotten back on the horse, full throttle. Feel free to add me, I'm on MFP mostly all the time and love supporting my friends.

    Never say "only" when you say you've lost X amount of pounds. Every pound is a victory. Every single pound.

    You look great!

    You are so right I keep forgetting that - it's all part of changing the way I think about this journey as it becomes a lifestyle change.
