I hit my 50lb lost mark this past Friday. I feel great, although I have a long ways to go yet, and some days its frustrating, thinking about how far I've come...but how far I still have. Its a journey though, and for anyone struggling along your journey, I hope seeing some progress helps!

I started Jan 1, 2012 and five months later, here I am. I eat better, feel better, and have discovered that I actually ENJOY working out! My faves right now are the elliptical and my Zumba classes I attend. I also walk quite a bit and hope to start training for a 5K here soon.

And now, what you are really here for...pictures! First one is of me last year on my 30th birthday, 332 or so pounds. I hate this picture...its one of the few I allowed to be taken, and one that made me realize how big I really was.

    My calorie goal is currently set at 1710...I typically eat about 1400-1500 on an average day.
