One Year Down!

So it's been a year! I'm not at goal, I haven't logged every day, and I've only lost about 10 pounds since the first of the year, but I'm still damn proud of myself. I didn't start with a health scare or anything like that, I was just tired of being fat, and my wife had found this amazing tool. And my pride wouldn't let her get smaller than me!
I remember taking these first pictures and almost crying when I saw them. I had no idea I was that big. I'm pretty sure we all have felt like that at some point.
I still have a lot of work to do, and have been having a tough time lately sticking with it on the weekends, especially when I get drunk. I'm trying to motivate my *kitten* to get back with it hard core and meet my goal of 155 by my 5th anniversary (yes, I realize this is an almost unattainable goal, but I'm still gonna try!) While I look at my stomach and cringe, I look at my legs are are so proud! The weights have been really helping them; I have definition on the outside of my thighs that I remember as a kid seeing on my dad (and avid runner) and him telling me I should give up ever having them because I'm a woman! HA! (It also helps that I store very little weight on my thighs)
I'm hoping this next year will bring me to my goal weight, lifting more, actually running (not the jogging/limping thing I call running), and learning to think I'm pretty. (Also using less parenthesis in posts)
Oh, and I'm 5'3.5"
