40 pounds gone- GOAL!

2013 has been very kind to me Not only did I lose the weight that had been bothering me for years, I found out how to eat healthy and take care of my body from the inside out.

I have always struggled with my weight but when I moved out of my parent's house and traveled across the country to live with my high school sweetheart (now loving husband), I gained about 30 pounds. He eats such garbage that I was just destroying my body like he had been for years and I felt it depleting my energy levels, making me mentally suffer. I took control once again of my own health and am glad that I finally did!

I worked out but thought barely eating anything would help until I just wasn't losing anything. Finally I found MFP and it gave me a 1200 calorie goal but I was still soooo hungry eating at that level. Looking around the forums I found people talking about how this may be too low and I started doing my research. I started eating more and the pounds started falling off! The best thing about this journey? I didn't have to step one foot inside a gym. I could never find the motivation to drive daily out to a gym, especially since I live in the country. For a lot less money I invested in weights and online/beachbody videos and made my way through different programs.

Though I could stand to lose a few more pounds at my height and start toning, my goal was to lose 40 pounds so I could have a healthy, fit future pregnancy. GOAL!

Starting weight: 160
Current: 120

And now I can happily say I am ready to put all the weight I lost right back on :laugh:
