One year success story!!

edited October 7 in Success Stories
I joined January 14 2011, weighing about 170 pounds. Through logging my food EVERY SINGLE DAY, and exercising 5-6 times a week, I've lost 31 pounds in the last 52 weeks. It could have been more and I could have done better, but I am happy with what I have accomplished in the last year and I am grateful for this site and the support of my family and my husband for encouraging me to do my best and pushing me to go farther.

And now for some pictures!

    Wow! Awesome job. Could you have done better and lost more? You look super slim to me, and fantastic.

    Very timely pictures as I just finished calculating that I want to lose about 33lbs all up (I usually work in kgs, and I have changed my goal weight downwards a couple of times).

    Very inspirational, thanks for sharing.

    You look phenomenal!!

    Your success is so inspirational to me because you accomplished in the last year exactly what my new year's resolution is for this year! Lose 30 pounds in the year. I've started at 180 and am working toward 150 (though I wouldn't mind an additional 10 pounds). But if I reach 150 this year I will consider it a success!

    Thank you so much for sharing.
