10lbs Loss with pics

Hello All!
My name is Crys Mitchell. I've been on MFP since November and struggled to lose weight for months. I thought I knew what I was doing with my weightloss goals because I've always been an athlete. But without playing any bbgames or running in any trackmeets, I had no idea what I was doing. I had no idea how to eat. That's when I called in the big guns. I started doing Insanity and researching healthy eating habits. My favorite magazine is Oxygen. I reached my goal of getting back to my original weight only completing half of the Insanity program.

The things that helped me most were: Balance. I couldn't achieve my goals with just exercise alone. Eating clean and correct portions has been a big challenge to handle. Another big help was MFP. My weightloss has been a struggle. At first I was in denial that I was overweight and needed to lose some pounds. Then when I got started, when the weight was coming off fast enough, I wanted to give up everyday. But everyday I logged in, I saw people who were constantly logging, constantly working out. When I didn't feel like working out, one of MFPals would log how they beasted through a workout. So I said if they can do it, I can.

I still would like to lose at least 8 more pounds. I'm concentrating more on toning. So I'm alternating week two of Insanity days with weight trainning. I still want to give up...everyday. But I just remember that Weightloss journey is a lifestyle change...not a temporary change. Great luck on your success MFP's!
