I wasn't gonna post a success story, seeing as I'm only about 1/2 way to my goal. But a friend told me that it could be inspiring to others and helpful to those starting out, so here I am :-)

I've been on MFP for just over a year. I can't pinpoint exactly what clicked for me to begin this journey. All I know is that once I started, I never looked back. I have logged every single thing in the past year, minus 1 day when I first started.

I will say that I have a lot of things going my way in this process.. I have an extremely supportive husband who not only weighs and measures foods when he's cooking, but he also eats the same as I do. I know it sounds cliche to call it a lifestyle change, but it's truly what it is for us. Our lifestyle has completely changed over the past year. Not only do we eat healthy and exercise, but I am now only about a year away from my bachelor's degree in Nutrition Science.

So there you have it :-) And here's a pic of what a year of MFP looks like!

    I absolutely love that you have such great surroundings. We all should be that lucky (I am because I live alone) - it has to be hard when there are negative forces around you and the changes you want to make!

    Excellent work thus far!

    Thanks for your post, which is indeed inspiring to others (including myself).

    Not only have you done really well from the weight loss, you have also done well at your studies. Congratulations also to your support team (including your friend and your husband).
