101 lbs down - 252 to 151 (with pictures!)

This post has been a year and a half in the making, as of yesterday I have officially lost 101 lbs! This journey has been so unbelievably rewarding, I can't even begin to put into words all the amazing things I've been able to accomplish over the past year and a half. I went from wearing a tight size 22 jeans to wearing a size 8 (as of Friday!). I went from rarely getting off the couch to making sure I hit 10,000 steps per day. I went from struggling to walk up a flight of stairs to running numerous 5ks just because I think it's fun. I have proven that you don't have to eat "clean" and cut out all the delicious foods you crave to lose weight, my favorite food of all time is cake and I have yet to turn down a piece since starting my weight loss journey. I still want to lose another 16 lbs so that I'm right in the middle of my healthy weight range but knowing that all the hard work has paid off and I am a healthy weight now is amazing. If you want it bad enough and you put in the effort, you can accomplish the goals that you set for yourself. I'm proof. I had a baby two months ago and during my pregnancy I was determined to remain active and continue working towards my goals, nothing is impossible.
