Today is my ONE YEAR with MFP - I haven't missed a day! I started off just wanting to lose 30 lbs, then I decided I wanted to be Fat-Free at Forty. Well I have till mid October till I turn 40 & I only have 31 lbs to go. I started off slow just walking & going to Curves for a few weeks, then I took up Zumba - which I still do every single week. And then I decided what the heck, why not try C25K - and now I can actually say I'm a runner & ENJOY it! I have several friends on here that helped me, challenged me, and carried me thru and I thank them all from the bottom of my heart. :heart:

This was taken the first week of May last year - right when I got my puppy, Walter!

    You are a beautiful person inside and out! You have inspired me daily and I am a better person to have met you here! I have been here with you all but 65 days and may I say that you and I have changed physically day after day. But we have grown to be close friends even though we have never met and are hundreds of miles away from each other. You have pushed me with my logging and with my new love of running! Plus we both have great tastes in Dogs!...lol...I can never thank you enough for everything you have done to help me lose the 147 pounds I have lost but I want you to know that I do thank you! Stay strong and you will be successful! Thanks again and maybe next year at this time we will be at our goals for quite sometime maintaining our new bodies and helping others get to their goals.

    Wow - what a difference. I am getting ready to start C25K Sunday (hopefully). I have heard alot of amazing things, so I am hoping it turns me into a runner like everyone else. You look fantastic. Keep it up, and you will hit your goal in no time.

    I just completed a 100 day task....Intentional movement for 30 mins/day, for the first 100 days of 2011....It's tough to keep to that kind of commitment, but I did it....yours is much more impressive!! Logging in MFP for a full year?! Wow! and obviously it's paid off! Way to keep to it ! :)
