Little Loser - B&A with pics :)

So it’s been a year exactly since I started using MFP properly. I am 20 pounds lighter and a million times healthier then I was then or have ever been really.

When I decided to commit to a healthy lifestyle (just after my birthday LAST year) I was off the back of years of yo-yo dieting, a horrible battle with bulimia and a passionate hatred of sports in school. I was never very overweight but I ate terribly, had very low self esteem, binged and purged and had never felt fit or strong.

Now I am proud to call myself a runner (just completed my third half marathon), love Zumba and yoga and feel CRAZY if I don’t work out. I’m just getting into lifting some proper weights and really enjoying that too. I love cooking and finding new healthy recipes. I haven’t purged in nearly a year. Oh and I feel freaking awesome about myself (most of the time).

I have amazing awesome MFP friends and your advice, support and motivation, combined with the tools here have been invaluable in helping me make real, lifelong changes to the way I live. When I started I truly didn't think it was possible for me to feel this good.

Now the bit you all wanted to see pics. Sorry for the bad quality of some of them. I am not done yet, want to reduce my BF% and get fitter and stronger but this is where I’ve come so far:
