Today I am 60 pounds lighter!!! I had hoped to lose 75 pounds in this first year but gosh darn it, I am getting closer and closer to that mark! Even though I did not reach my one year goal, I will hold my head up high and be proud that I have made it this far. I will celebrate my size 10 and not, for one second, morn my old size 18/20 body. I will celebrate the fact that I can run alongside my daughter as she rides her bike, and not morn the mom I used to be, that would sit on the bench and watch my daughter play. I will celebrate all of the times I have been asked "How in the world did you do it?" and all of the "Holy cow, you look amazing!" remarks, and not, for a second, miss how I felt on 8/23/2010, when my doctor walked in to meet me for the first time and, right off the bat, asked "Have you always been so overweight?" a moment that inspired me to work towards where I am today.

The photos on the left are my before, the photos on the right are recent. 226lbs to 166lbs.

I still have a ways to go but knowing all that I have accomplished in this last year, I am certain that I will get there.

So with that, happy one year anniversary to me!

    How awesome are you? Your smile in your current pictures is surely reflecting how much better you feel about yourself. Your starting weight is just 5 lbs from where I am today. Just to think one year from today I could, no WILLbe at 60 lbs gone is truly motivating.

    Thanks for sharing your success!
