78lbs lost in a year…

I just realized that as of this month, I’ve been actively losing weight for a year. It honestly simultaneously doesn’t feel like it’s been that long AAAAAAND feels like it’s been much longer.

I don’t know how that can be.

I started at 294lbs last February. As of this morning, I’m 216lbs!!! Only 4lbs away from my halfway point. Only 17lbs from being OUT OF THE 200s and into ONEderland. And only 26lbs away from no longer being obese (getting my nose pieced to celebrate).

It’s been nuts. Eating clean - very few processed foods, learning to eat wise portions, doing cardio - running and elliptical, doing strength circuits at home, drinking lots of water, and most recently adding low-med weight/high rep weight lifting and swimming.

I just want to keep going and reach my goal weight in 2012. I’ll post some before/during pictures once I lose the 4lbs to reach my halfway point.
