    A year ago....I was unhappy, overweight, barely fitting into my pants, resisting to go up a size, and needing a change!!!!

    A year ago, I was on here.
    I was 7 pounds heavier and doing 30ds for the first time, not eating exercise calories back and then I let Thanksgiving derail me. After that I stopped logging consistently until March of this year.. I've had ups and downs since then, but I'm back on track (mostly) now.
    I'm determined not to let the hoildays derail me this year. I might over-eat, I'm going to try my best to not gain, but if i do - tomorrow is another day!

    wow! You are amazing! You have done an amazing job! I am so encouraged by your testimony, Especially the fact that no surgery or fads were used. It gives me hope. Now if I can just convince my body to work that hard! The food is not as big a problem as forcing myself to push harder. I tend to wimp out easily when I start feeling tired! Thanks for sharing.

    I can't exacly remember what I weighed 1 yr ago but I know that when I joined this site in Feb of this yr I weighed 321 and I had been on my journey for a while so I would have weighed more than that in Nov. But as of last week I weighed 242.6 and have lost a total of 148 lbs I too have come a long way in a year. I would say that I have lost about 100 lbs in the last year.

    Ditto my reply to Carolinamama! Wonderful job! Hope I'll have a testimony similar to yours next year, Good luck on your journey.

    I was about 2 months into my journey and about 85 pounds heavier than I am now. I think I started doing Zumba for the first time almost exactly a year ago. I might have gotten one or two comments on my weight loss, but most people didn't notice yet. Now they don't even recognize me.

    awesome accomplishment! Thanks for the encouragement!

    One year ago, I was recently engaged and 30 lbs. heavier. I could barely run 1/4 of a mile.

    Now, I'm still engaged, getting married in August, 30 lbs. lighter, and can run 2 miles straight. And I'm much happier. ;D

    One year ago, I wasnt even on this Journey yet. I was weighing roughly 220lbs and disgusted with myself. I started my journey in March of this year. I have lost 35lbs so far and have about another 50lbs to go until I reach my goal.

    One year ago I thought I had gained 10 pounds because I was stressed at grad school...turns out it was because I was still very much engulfed in a major eating disorder that had effed with my metabolism. When I joined MFP I logged my daily calories without changing anything and was only eating about 600-800 calories a day. MFP has opened my eyes to eating ENOUGH and being conscious of the food I am putting in my body. Right now I'm about the same weight, but so much happier and healthier. :)

    I was 13 lbs heavier, in a stressful job and wondering if I could run. Today I'm still on a weight loss journey but running at least 3 miles 3x/week, and have multiple 5K races under my belt as well as a 10K. Next year this time I hope to be 15 lbs lighter from now, and have a half marathon under my belt!

    A year ago today I was just starting my journey to lose weight and get fit. I was 32 pounds heavier andI was struggling with health issues due to poor circulation. I was always in pain and in and out of the doctors office. Finally I decided that I had to make a lifestyle change. I needed to exercise daily and make healthier food choices. Looking back now I picked the hardest time of year to start my journey but I did what I had to. I was miserable having to watch what I ate at Thanksgiving and Christmas while everyone else stuffed their faces LOL . But I stuck to my goal and didn't even have a slice of pumpkin pie :-( This year in celebration my sister is making her special homemade pumpkin pie and you bet I'm having a slice =-)

    I am happy to say that today I no longer suffer from any of my old health issues, I am in the best shape of my life and I am a much happier person!!! :-)

    It's very possible I was sitting on the couch eating potato chips and drinking Dr Pepper. I was about 212lbs and had not even thought I'd be on this lifestyle change in a year. I can't wait to see where I'll be in a year from now. Thanks MFP!
