    Great job nailing your first year! I agree with @HDBKLM regarding what's been "lost" over the year for you.

    Happy healthy-versary! You committed to a road that is making real lifestyle changes and progress in health. That is way better than a "Fativersary."

    Possibly. I've honestly been averaging about a pound lost every month for the last six months or so, but I ramped up my work outs a LOT during that time. I wish I'd measured more :(

    "52 lbs in 52 weeks was the original goal, and I missed it by about 7 pounds. That's 7 weeks where I celebrated holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, or just had really cruddy days and are my feelings.

    In retrospect, that's 7 weeks where I LIVED my life without giving up on my overall goals. "

    I am fairly new to the forums, but I have been spending a lot of time in the success stories because I am so inspired by those who have worked so hard to get to their goals.

    What wrote above is absolutely profound and is such a great perspective on this entire process. You never let the unexpected in life dictate your goal. Your introspection is amazing.

    And you look awesome too ;-)

    The success stories board is the best! Some of the threads are SO long and filled with AMAZING transformations!

    Welcome to the forums and I hope we can help make a difference in your weight loss journey!

    Great post - congrats on your weight loss and have beautiful hair ;) . I actually have the same swimsuit. It is great for curvy girls whether slim or larger. I am thinking of buying the same one now that mine is also a bit large.
