Hello all you beautiful people, honestly I'm not quite ready to consider anything a success yet until I reach my goal, but being half way I thought... what the heck. My co-worker and I have been trying to lose weight and I was really happy with his badge photo from 2 years ago to today so I thought I would post mine. :)

This one is of me exactly 2 years ago ^^^
This one is of me a couple weeks ago **below

I am 27 years old, 5'3" (I round up). I'm not to onederland yet but I'm getting close.

I lost my first 40 pounds doing the latin hip-hop Zumba and then graduated on to weights (another 20 pounds!)... I plateaued in my weight loss for a few months and decided to incorporate running about a month ago (goodbye 5 pounds!)... that seems to be helping. I eat a lot healthier, I count my calories... I fail miserably sometimes but then I just pick myself back up and go forward and try harder. I would very much like to lose another 70 lbs to be at the ultimate goal weight... but who knows with the heavy lifting, I might look better with a couple more lbs. We'll see when I start to get around to that zone. :) (I feel weird talking about myself so excuse the rambling)

I love to support my friends and I love the advice they give, MFP has been a great help in my journey, half way there!! :) If you need a friend, someone to call you on your BS, I'm always happy to be of help.

    Thanks!! I love to lift, so while the pounds are coming off so slooooooooowly, the inches are more consistent. :)

    Thank you all. It's been a long road, feels like I still have so far to go sometimes, but the time is going to pass anyways so might as well do it the best way I can. :) Still feels weird to have posted here, after so many years of just reading and commenting on others.

    You look awesome! Only 65 pounds? :o That is the weight of three toddlers, or one medium sized goat, or 8 full sized ducks. All of which are hard to carry. That's what I'm aiming for, a goat.
