    • 40 down 40 to go

    edited February 18 in Success Stories
    Today I am finally half way to my goal weight!! I started this journey 10 months ago at 210 lb. Forty pounds later I am feeling amazing. I have a long way to go, but I am now confident that I can be a healthier me than I ever have been before. I haven't truly dieted at all, simply changed my lifestyle to include healthier food choices, less binge eating (I'm still working on that one), and enjoyable daily exercises. I reject the "no pain, no gain" hypothesis, and instead have focused on learning how to enjoy my body in movement through Zumba, swimming, and switching from a car to a bike commute.

    Since I didn't believe that success was possible when I started last summer, I don't really have a before picture. But here is a picture from several years ago that generally reflects me as I was:

    And here is me as I am today:

      Good job! That is a HUGE accomplishment even if you think you are only half way there....you have changed SO much! I have 10 lbs to go before I reach my 'halfway' point (personal goal not a BMI goal). I am trying to lose 60 total and lost 25 lbs 2 yrs ago...been doing MFP for a 3 wks with good success( Had gained 5 lbs this winter due to inactivity!)

      Keep up the great work!
