Down 150 lbs in 18 months!

So, I hit the big -150 lbs last week. Thought I would share a few pics for anyone needing inspiration. Been on this journey 18 months so far. No pills, no surgeries, no diets! Just lifestyle changes. Cut out sodas first, started tracking calories/macros with MFP and incorporated cardio and lifting 3-4 times a week. Started running in July 2015 and can now run 5k's with ease and have advanced to 6-7 days a week in the gym. Never thought I would be someone who would struggle with taking a rest day! This is how I know I have truly changed my lifestyle. Still have about 40-50 lbs to go to get to my goal weight. Just too much weight for my 5'4'' frame. But I will get there this year. Hope this helps someone! Never give up. If I can do it, anyone can do it! #ilostafreakingperson #butgainedsomuchmore

Congrats!!!! You've done amazing! I totally get the rest day thing and knowing you've changed your lifestyle. I started maybe 3 1/2 yrs ago. Hated working out. Now if I miss a day there's a lot of grumbling going on in my head. It's amazing what you can condition yourself to do. Keep up the great work! You look beautiful!!0

Truly amazing, thanks for the inspiration, you look wonderful.
I decided from yesterday to get my butt back in gear, same height as you 5.4.
Set myself a challenge to exercise for 100 days without stopping, I am on Day 2, but its kicking my butt. Today whilst exercising I was so hungry that I wanted to stop, the old me would have stopped, but the new me, decided to carry on to the end. I am really glad that I had.
I do realize that it will not be easy, but I am so tired of being over weight and not seeing this double chin, big stomach etc in the mirror looking back at me. Once the weather warms up I plan on starting C25K and looking forward to it.
May plan is to take one day at a time towards my 100 day challenge which ends in July.0 -

What an inspiration!!! Thanks for posting - I really needed this today. My mantra right now is "Don't eat your feelings, don't eat your feelings."
I also have the shirt that you're wearing in the bottom picture - the purple one. So in 18 months, I hope to have similar results if I stick to working my plan.0 -
