At the beginning of this year, I had zero goals, and very little health and fitness knowledge! I had just had my 3rd baby and knew I wanted to change my body and change my life! I joined MFP & my girlfriend asked me to train with her for an ultra marathon! I knew I needed to set high goals for myself, and to take risks! So here I am now! I've run 2 ultra marathons! I'm lifting weights, i'm eating foods that fuel my body, and seeing results I never could have dreamed of!

My goals for this next year are:
To perform 12 unassisted pull-ups
To perform 12 unmodified push ups
To perform a walking handstand
AND To run another ultra marathon!

Post your 2016 successes here! I'd love to see your journey too! As well as your new goals for the year 2017!!

    Congrats!!

    In 2016 I went from weighing 235 to 180. I went from a size 16/18 to a size 12. I have ran in 2 5ks where I can jog the majority of it. I am more confident than ever before.

    My 2017 goal is to lose the last half of my weight and go from 180 to 125. I plan on running in more 5ks and I will try my hand at a 10k.

    2016

    Went from 320 to 215 and fitness greatly improved.

    Keep improving fitness and getting leaner until I have abs.

    2016: I learned my cholesterol was high and I've changed how I eat. I have lost 13 lbs at an average of 2 lbs a week.

    2017: I go back in Febuary or March to see if I was able to get my cholesterol down enough to stay off meds. Crossing my fingers, measuring my food, and educating myself along the way.
