edited December 2024 in Success Stories
One year ago today I decided I needed to make some changes in my life. I started paying more attention to what I was eating and using my elliptical for more than a clothes hanger.

I lost 20 lbs in two months.
I found MFP the end of July.
I started running the end of October.
I ran my first 5k on Thanksgiving.
I hit my goal weight 2-29-12 (day after my birthday)
The next week I signed up for a half-marathon
Last Sunday I ran that half-marathon.
I have gone from a tight size 16 to a very comfortable size 8.
Yesterday I ran my first mile under 11 minutes.

What a difference a year makes!! I never want to go back to that feeling I had a year ago today!!

Beginning weight 197.5
Goal Weight 147.5
Weight today 145.0

What successes have you seen in the last year?
