~30 lbs down for this 5'5" 23 y.o.

I'm kind of an emotional eater-- and during my first year of med school, all the stress translated into plenty of eating. I also stopped exercising and got terribly out of shape... I remember having to climb three flights of stairs to arrive at small group meetings and feeling completely winded. I waited until school was over and then started hot yoga classes, which made me feel more in tune with my body.

By the end of the summer, I began to cook more of my own meals and I cut down on restaurant excursions (I try to limit outings to 1-2 x / wk). I discovered myfitnesspal towards the end of October and since then, I've lost about 30 lbs in ~6 months! I'm currently eating about 2000 cals a day, and I do 3 cardio and 2-3 weight sessions per week.

I've loved looking at others' success pics, and I'm really excited to now share my progress!

Here's a BEFORE picture, from spring fling last year (taken around mid-March)


Here are some pictures from TODAY; I saw my spring fling gown hanging in my closet and I got really curious to see what it would look like now :]
