80 lbs gone (with pics)

Hi everyone, I thought it was my turn to post a success story. I started in April 2011, and have since lost 80 lbs. I plan to lose another 10-20 lbs depending how I feel. I am struggling with 'twin skin' after having twins in 2005 so I am not sure yet what will happen. MFP has been my source of logging and support - thank you! Also, my neighbour Leanne (teeley) has been very instrumental in my success as well!! I went from dying at running for a minute, to doing 6k in 45ish minutes. I exercise (or try) 3x per week, and I mainly stick to 1300ish cals a day. I splurge 1-2 days a week, I need this becuase it's moderation/lifestyle change not a diet. We will all meet our goals, just keep plugging away... all those small losses add up to big ones!
