While every one around me is making resolutions for 2015, I'm looking back at 2014 to see my progress.

It was a pretty good year for me. I lost 35 lbs, ran my first 5k (plus 3 more!), and got job title change and a significant pay raise.

I want to hear from you. How was 2014 for you?

    My wife and I had our second son in June. In August I started trying to get fit. Found out I liked running. Ran in two five k's and one 5 mile race and lost 37 pounds along the way

    2014 was unbelievable. I lost some weight, yeah, but most importantly I started learning to love and appreciate myself, and that helped with everything else! I got my bachellor's degree, wrote my thesis, got my first job and moved out of my parents' to a different country, where I've met truly amazing people and found love :)

    You look fantastic!

    Losing 30 pounds was the only thing that made 2014 bearable. It was a year of grief and misery. 2015 will be better.

    2014 kinda sucked. Work sucked, finances sucked, didn't travel anywhere, gained weight. Had a fairly successful tennis season, but other than that, not much exciting happened.

    Wow, good for you guys! Some amazing accomplishments here. Hungry Annie, maybe 2015 will be a better year. :)

    2014 was pretty great for me. I lost 15 lbs, but more importantly, I started feeling stronger and healthier thanks to yoga, running, and eating better. It feels great! The end of the year added on another 5 lbs, but knowing that I got on track once makes me confident that I will get on track again.

    My husband and I bought our first house, adopted a dog, and I lost 40 lbs using MFP.

    I was in a car accident in February and now have 3 herniated discs in my neck that I'm still dealing with. But then it went uphill...I graduated law school cum laude, bought my first ever brand new car, went on a fantastic vacation in the mountains, PASSED the New York bar exam!!!!,, received a great job offer that will begin 1/20, and maintained my weight after a 70 pound loss in 2012.
