Where were you last year?????

A year ago I was at 325 pounds, and one of the laziest people I knew and claiming every excuse in the book. I was getting ready for a vacation to San Francisco and was researching to figure out what my restrictions would be due to my weight and energy level, plus one of our flights was delayed because they had to track down a seat belt extender. I was also dreading all of the walking around the city, now I would be super excited about the walking and even the hills. My husband and I were total gluttons, we like good food, we just ate way to damn much of it, all of the time.
This year (since May) we have collectively lost over 100 pounds (65 of which where from me) and have made this a lifestyle change that we can both follow. I've starting making plans for things that I've always wanted to do but haven't been able to do. My husband and I are planning an epic camping/hiking/biking/kayaking vacation this summer, something I've always wanted to do, but knew that at 325 pounds it just wasn't going to happen. I also have a tentative date set to sky dive with my bff, which is something we've always wanted to do, but couldn't since I was way over the weight limit. Now this is a visible reality, I'm still about 30 pounds over the weight limit, but I know I can lose that in 6.5 months.0 -
Last year at this time I was the heaviest I had ever been, after having gained back everything I lost on "The Juice Diet", plus 10 pounds. I decided to just be fat and didn't get my courage back to try again until June. By then I had gained another 15, for the mind boggling high of 313 lbs. Now I'm down to 229 lbs (*) and past the half way mark to a healthy BMI. I'm feeling better than I have in years and can't wait for 2015! This year I'm going to reach my goal!!!

Awesome!!!!!!
Um, not awesome. That means I gained weight which is very bad.
I am sorry I read it wrong I thought you were 25 pounds lighter this year

At this time last year I was really excited yet frustrated because I had been bouncing around 202-205 lb for the entire Nov-Dec holiday season, and I just wanted to hit "onederland" finally. It happened in January and now I'm at 169.
Honestly though my biggest year of change was 2013. 2014 has just been more of the same, in a good way!0 -
This time last year, I was about the same weight, though less muscular, and doing the same thing as I'm doing this year . . . planning my fitness and non-fitness goals for next year.0

But I told myself I was not going to buy anything new and started Focus T25...within a week I could breath again in those same pants. Since then I have completed T25, P90x3, Turbo fire, and I am beginning the 4th week of ChaLean Extreme. My fight now is to get out of the size 10 pants I have been in for the last couple of months!!!! 2014 has taught me so much about me and I welcome 2015 to show me more of what I can do!!! If I can do this anyone can but one thing for sure, I would have never got this far without the support of all my friends on here!!!
So again I ask, Where were you last year?
i was somewhere in the neighborhood of 458-475 in weight, glad to say im almost under 300 now, but im very far from my goal

Last year at this time, I was dealing with my mom's death in August, going to therapy, having a lot of side effects from antidepressant medications and had a variety of stress illnesses.
This year, I got licensed as a Zumba instructor, found out I had been misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder 12 years ago and am off all my meds, had 2 cataract operations and don't need glasses any more. passed 2 fitness certifications, bought a bike, broke my leg riding it (oh, well), went to the Zumba convention, made a ton of new friends on Facebook and in person.
Right now, I'm planning my life and fitness goals for 2015, looking for a new apartment...
Well, also, I've maintained my weight for 2 years and am 1lb down from the 4lb I gained when I broke my leg.0 -
Last year I was about 155 pounds. This year I am 130.0
-
This year I am down 64lbs with another 17-18lbs to go. My total lost over the last two years is now over 100lbs. 2015 will bring me the grand total of 110-130lbs, depending on if I try to gain muscle or not.0

That is an interesting question. Looking it up- my weight was just 3 pounds above where I am now this time last year. However, I had been stuck there for along time and a few months later I gained 10 more pounds taking me to my heaviest weight ever. I wasn't logging food or exercising consistantly.
I started using MFP in October and have made good progress. I am at the lowest weight I have been for a few years now. I really feel like in 2015 I can reach my goal and Ihave not felt that way in a long time.0 -
A year ago I was 15 pounds lighter, and on the sidelines with a shoulder injury. I've competed in my 1st-6th powerlifting comps, learnt that my deadlift is truly a little special,0

about 15 pounds lighter... relapsing with an eating disorder and "happy" with my body.0

Last year, I had lost so much weight that the hubby sent me to the doctor and put me on exercise restriction. I have since gained about 6-7lbs. I think this is a good weight for me. I still wear the same size, just fill it out a bit more.0

I am about 15lbs lighter. I enjoyed life throughout the year and my weight loss stalled, but I haven't gained. Over the last 5 years I have dropped 104 + pounds and I am determined to get to my goal weight in 2015!0

I was about 4 months pregnant with baby #2. Thanks to MFP and TDEE-20%, I had lost 30 pounds in 2013, kept it off, and started the second pregnancy BELOW my pre-baby weight from my first child. My second is 6 months old now, and her baby weight is also gone. I am starting 2015 at 217 pounds, and this is MY YEAR. I am waving goodbye to the 200s forever! I want to see 180 by my anniversary in July. Destination Wedding Dress!! Who wants to come with me? Send a friend request!

I am 15 pounds heavier than last year. Oops! But thanks for giving me the motivation to check that and be exact, I noticed that I didn't put most of it on over the holidays but gained more or less steadily. Let this year be different!0

Last year this time I was 296 pounds, knew I should lose weight, but had no confidence that I could keep up a diet for more than two months. Also was worried I wouldn't have the energy to prepare weight-loss meals for myself, or the money to do so consistently. Now I'm 192, I have more energy than I've ever had, and I've learned a lot more about how to exercise and diet safely and effectively. Here's hoping for good things for everyone in the new year 0

I was pregnant this time last year. I still have about 40lbs to go. Trying to take it in 10lbs chunks so it feels 'easier' in my mind

What a great accomplishment all around!0 -
Last year on this date I was 318.5lbs and had been slowly stockpiling a bevy of health issues. I could no longer carry all of that weight without consequence. I had to make a whole host of changes - physically and even more importantly, mentally. My last "official" weigh in for the year was this AM and I came in at 196lbs.
Miles to go before I sleep. ;-)

A year ago today I was 40 pounds heavier and 4 months post baby. I had never lost the baby weight from #1 and now had more on from baby #2. I worked hard and even though I have 5 holiday pounds on, I am still 40 pounds less than this time last year.0

One year ago I was 113 pounds heavier than I am right now. A great year it's been!!0

Lots of GREAT responses.......lots of GREAT results, and lots of hard stuff to deal with if we have gained. I know 2015 will be GREAT!!!!!0

Good idea to look back in a good way! Or even to look back and regroup, if it wasn't a great year.
Last year at this time, I was 60 pounds heavier, had no energy, and feeling very sad. I told myself that I had to make a commitment for one year, with no excuses, to see what I could do. I am looking forward to another year of commitment and dedication!!!0
