Finally! My Success Story! One Year Later! PICS

It took nearly one year for me to loose over 60 pounds and surpass my goal weight. My fitness pal is amazing! I am so grateful for it and the amazing people on this board! I also had the support of family and friends and I couldn't have done it without them either.
I set my goal as higher then I actually wanted since I had little faith in my ability to loose weight. And it was an uphill battle. I have several autoimmune issues that literally made every lost pound a gem. I would loose a pound every few weeks and it was incredibly discouraging. No matter what I did, it did not change how my body clung to every ounce. But I did stick to it. Even though I wasn't loosing weight, I knew that I was doing the right thing for my body eating healthy and it was the least I could do since my body was already so sick.
After SIX MONTHS counting calories I started loosing weight. Slowly. 5 pounds here. Then 10. Then 15. Before I knew it I had hit the 9 month mark of my new healthy lifestyle and hit my goal weight as well. Now I'm a month before my one year mark and 20 pounds below my goal weight. Never thought this would have ever happened with every obstacle I've had in the past year. I'm so grateful for a website like this especially since now, my husband is using it to participate in a work bet (who can loose the most weight before Christmas!) and hopes to get into a healthier lifestyle too!
