Not done yet, but had to share

I found a full body shot of myself on my Google drive yesterday, so I had my husband take my picture last night so I could compare. I am still in awe. I can hardly believe that was actually me because in my mind, I think I always thought I was not that big. I now have over 380 days straight of logging on MFP and have some awesome running goals for this year (including a half marathon! Eeek!)
While I technically have 38 lbs to my weight goal, I am no longer feeling controlled by the scale because I'm more motivated by my falling pant size (size 24W on the left, size 9/10 on the right - women's, juniors, misses, I have no clue) and fitness goals.
2014's mantra was Start, 2015's was Move, 2016's is STRONGER. I am trying to be the change I want to see. I've got this, and you can, too!

By the way, THANK YOU to everyone in the MFP community. These Success Stories have sustained me through my most difficult days and always encourage me. The Facebook group has been phenomenal and a key component in finding support, inspiration, and information. I'm so grateful!
