I've posted here before, many times, in the last 18 months. Today is my year and a half anniversary, and to date I've lost 73 pounds. Around the year mark, I stopped counting calories and focused instead on making healthy choices. I continued to lose during that time, but my loss has slowed way down. I was content with that for many months, mostly because I'm so happy where I am now, at 176. But last week I realized while 176 may be awesome, my goal weight of 149 would be much more awesome, and I started counting again to finally kick those last 27 pounds to the curb once and for all.

SW: 249
CW: 176
GW: 149

To date I've lost 13 inches off my waist, 7.5 inches off my hips, 3 inches off my chest (and I wanted that), 3 inches off my calves and thighs, and almost 2 inches off my neck.

I strive to be healthy in every aspect of life, especially when it comes to food. My workouts have changed many many times over a year and a half, but currently I take an interval class at the gym Mon-Fri and try to stay active on the weekends with biking or walking. I also converted my desk to a stand-up desk several weeks ago.

Others' progress pics helped me stay motivated and focused for this long. It's hard to believe I'm one of them now.
