I am always in need of some good motivation, so I thought today I would remind myself of how far I've come. I'm always looking at how far I've got to go ... but .... I've lost over 50 pounds and that's something I should be proud of! Here are some pix:
Me at the beginning of my journey - this was one of the pictures that inspired me to change! Halloween at work, 2008 - 280 pounds.
Another from Halloween 2008, 280 pounds.
Halloween 2009, I can't remember my exact weight.
Getting my BMI tested at a health fair at work in April 2010. I can't remember my weight here, either.
Hiking with some friends in July 2010 - I was approximately 218 here. That's the lowest I ever remember being!! I've gained about seven pounds since then ... but I am back on track now!!! This is one of my favorite pix of myself. I burned over 1400 calories that day! Woohoo!!
Halloween 2010 at work, around 225-ish.
Onederful one-hundreds ... here I come!!!!!! :drinker: :bigsmile:
