One year ago today (4 January) I announced to my family that I was going to change. I was tired of being over-weight, :sad: tired of feeling awful, :sick: tired of looking awful :cry: ....tired of being tired. :yawn: So, I changed, in oh so many ways!

January 4th 2010 I weighed 160 pounds. :noway: January 4th 2011 I weigh 120 pounds. :bigsmile:
January 4th 2010 I wore a size 10/12. :noway: January 4th 2011 I wear a size 3/4 :bigsmile:
January 4th 2010 my waist was 34.5 inches. :noway: January 4th 2011 my waist size is 27 inches :bigsmile:
January 4th 2010 I was taking 2 cholesterol medications and my cholesterol was still bad. :brokenheart:
January 4th 2011 I am being weaned off the cholesterol medications. :heart:
January 4th 2010 lost my breath when I climed the stairs. :embarassed:
January 4th 2011 I can run 3 consecutive 10.54 minute miles. :bigsmile:

As of December 31, 2011, I have ran a grand total of 556 miles. Burned 91,416 calories and 14439.6 carbohydrates. :bigsmile:
I accomplished this in a grand total of 148 hours of working out. :bigsmile:
I accomplished this because I changed. :bigsmile:

I really accomplished this because of the support I have gotten form the wonderful people I have met at MFP. :heart:
Thank you friends...I could not have done it without you! :heart:

God bless,

    I didn't realize until I saw this post, and then checked, that I started exactly one year ago today too. I actually joined MFP a few months before that, but ran into some computer problems and didn't actually start logging until 1/4/10. I weighed 190...today I was about 141, and had gotten as low as 148 before Christmas. Sometimes it is frustrating and sometimes it seems so slow and I just want to give in and eat and eat (and drink) but I guess this little "success story" is worth it. :happy:

    Both of you are absolutely amazing success stories. On days like today where the challenge seems too difficult it makes me feel better to read your stories. Congratulations!
