One year ago until now...

I'm not the best with posting pictures, so please bear with me. This past Friday night was my wife's office Christmas party and we had a few pictures taken. I compared these pictures to the pictures that were taken 1 year ago at the same party. All I can say is I'm shocked at the difference and I would definitely rank this as a success. You can see the side-by-side comparison picture as my new profile picture. I'm thrilled with the transformation I've made over the past 200 days. I haven't really given anything up or deemed any food completely off limits, but MFP has taught me how to eat in moderation and to stay within a certain calorie limit. MFP has also gotten me moving again and I realize that I need daily exercise to stay within my calorie goal and I need exercise to reach my overall goal. MFP has also taught me that I'm not on a "diet"... I'm making lifestyle changes and the changes are for the better! To date, I have lost 74 pounds on my way to a goal of losing 110 pounds. I couldn't have come this far without my friends on MFP! Thank you so much to everybody that has supported me and encouraged me! Also, feel free to send me a friend request. I'm active on MFP every day and I'm always looking for active, fun friends on here. Good luck on your personal journeys!
