I've been putting this off for a long time. My starting weight was 160 and I am now sitting comfy at 121. This was no easy process for me and it took over 2 years to lose the weight and get fit. I logged my food for about a year and then just tried to use common sense eating. To get here I have used circuit training, cardio, yoga, cycling (this was my biggest tool), kickboxing, hiking, and generally a lot of *kitten* kicking to get here. I can't say I never fell off the wagon (obviously, I mean it took me 2 years!) but I really feel like this is something I can maintain for life. I plan on continuing to shed a little more fat because I really want to slim down my tummy and I will definitely continue with strength training. :drinker:

I am horribly embarrassed to post these pics so be kind! :flowerforyou:

This was the picture that got my *kitten* in gear...

After at 121 One of my favorite things is my difference in posture. You can see my unhappiness in my before pictures just by looking at my body language.

Sorry about the photos. My camera is a POS.
