Hello, all. Today is my one year anniversary on MFP (and my weight loss journey as a whole), so I thought I would share with you some of my thoughts and accomplishments. As of this morning, I have lost 124lbs. I have gone from a woman's size 22-24 pants and 3X tops to a size 12 pants and medium tops. When I started, I could barely walk as I was basically 300lbs at 5' 3". Today I can not only walk, but run (did a 5K in September and am signed up for a color run this April), and have taken up bike riding recently as well. I feel like this is a total lifestyle for me now, as I've had a few days of not counting (Christmas, New Years) and the next day went back with NO problem, something I was never able to do before on "diets". I am really content with this new lifestyle and think I am finally never going to go back! At 31 I am in the best shape of my life!

Okay, some pictures, as I know we all love pictures don't we? :)

    Amazing! I sometimes worry than a year is such a long time but in reality it will fly by regardless of what choices you make and stories like this inspire me to change for the better.

    This made me tear up, I am on a similar journey, just starting and its stories like yours that give me the determination to do it myself. I am seeing myself change my lifestyle too, slowly in the foods I choose and the exercise is slowly becoming easier. Thank you so much for sharing this. I hope to be sharing something like this next year.
