One Year Later... :)
Apr. 17th, 2007 07:39 amToday is my 1-year anniversary on Calorie-Count.com, and with my Lifestyle Change :)
If you'd told me a year ago what kind of success I'd meet one year into this whole lifestyle change thing, I would never have believed you. In just one year, I've dropped 72.5 pounds, 4 pant sizes and a two shirt sizes. I've jogged a 5K, bicycled 15 miles at a time, and lifted 150 lbs (even if it was only for two reps). I've learned to cook healthy, and learned to love it. I've become truly interested in nutrition. I've made many friends, many of them very important to me, found and gave support, started a very popular daily chat with a life all it's own, became a moderator, written an incredibly popular post, and I've had a HECK of alot of fun.
It's important sometimes to remember that Success isn't just a number on a scale or a measurement, but a voyage. I want to take a moment to thank all of you. This year has truly been a life-changing voyage of discovery (and I'm not just talking about expanding my knowledge of how to lose weight healthfully) and each of you, not just my friends on/from Calorie-Count, but those of you on Livejournal, have been a part of it with me. It doesn't matter how close we've become, or how long we've known each other, what's mattered is.. you were here to EXPERIENCE My successes with me.
I wrote a post, on Calorie-Count, about my year-in-review, which you can view here, if you like :)
But if not, I must post this :)
The Dreaded Before Shot

This Saturday (gotta love the smile!)

How about THAT?
