    You look awesome! How may calories did you eat per day. I have about 34 lbs to loose and I'm having a hard time. I work out like crazy but nothing. I've lost a little over 200lbs in 2 1/2 years. Now, the last few lbs are refusing to come off.

    Today I have logged my food for 365 consecutive days, I can't believe I did that. :) So I thought I'd share my success story. I started MFP on Aug. 5, 2013 but had a few days where I didn't log in the beginning. Over this past year I have accomplished so much, not just the weight loss, but my attitude about myself and life in general. I went through a rough time in my life and quickly gained a lot of weight, over 50 pounds in about a year and a half. When I saw a picture of myself (the first one posted here) I could not believe how big I got and knew it was time to take control of my life. I beat depression and had a better outlook on life and I took charge and became the person that I used to be, happy and healthy. The pic of me in the dress was taken Aug. 4, 2013 (the day before I started MFP) and I weighed an unbelievable 181 pounds on a 5' 2.78" small frame. Yikes! The bathing suit pic was taken Aug. 9, 2014 weighing in at 124, a much more desired weight for my frame. :) I've never posted a bathing suit pic before, but this picture means a lot to me. Yesterday at the beach I felt good and comfortable. I realized that I will never be "perfect" and no one on that beach was. I'm almost 38 years old and a mother of 2, I don't have the nice tight toned skin that 18 year olds have, but willing to bet that I was stronger than any of them. I didn't stand out at the beach (for being heavy or for having the "perfect" body), I felt like I belonged on the beach. For once in my life I am comfortable with me. I no longer have the delusion that I need to look like a movie star or on the cover of a fitness magazine.
    I've lost 57 pounds, became so much stronger than I ever was (can do 173 push ups! Woot Woot!!) But the biggest hurdle of this past year, was getting in the right frame of mind. I will no longer try to only look at my flaws, but look at the overall picture. The old came back stronger than ever.

    That is awesome Congrats!

    I looked at the Warrior Dash and there is one in my area next year and now I have the bug and have decided to do it!

    How did you train for it and how difficult was it?

    Well thank you! You should do it! It's a lot of fun. I didn't really train for this one...I kind of forgot about it. Lol I registered for it in Jan, so it went to the back of my mind. I have been doing p90x though, and I know for sure that helped with some of the obstacles. The last time I did it, I was already a runner so then I trained at a park on the playscape. :)
