What a difference a year makes...

I know this isn't really post-worthy, but I have to brag...

I started this new lifestyle on January 9, 2007.

My weight was 238 lbs.
My BMI was 37.3.
I wore a size 16/18.

One year later, on January 9, 2008...

My weight is 153 lbs.
my BMI is 24.
I wear a size 8/10.

I have lost 85 lbs, and could not be happier or prouder of myself. I have 5 lbs. to go to my goal weight....go me!

Who else started this as a New Year's Resolution last year? Share your progress!

well I started December 12 so I've barely been here a month... but congratulations to you, that is an amazing achievement!!!!!!!!!!

katy, that's fabulous!! way to go :-)

My new years resolution last year was to lose weight. I didn't find this website until Feb, though. My starting weight was 155 at 5'6, and I got down to 130 by July. I lost 5 pounds a month until I hit my goal in June! I then started maintaining and then decided to lose 5 more. I gained like 8 of them back when I started school, but now with a goal of 125, I'm around the 133-135 mark. :) Congrats that's a good weight loss!

Nice work!

Someone who actually achieved their New Years Resolution.. Congrats . ;) 

That is wonderful. The most important thing is that you are healthy and happy. Great job and you are most deserving of bragging rights.. Brag away.. :)

Well, I started out with trying to change in October 2006 (I don't do n.y. resolutions anymore), when I weighed in at my life insurance physical at 198.  Joined CC at the end of January 2007 at 185, now I'm fluctuating between 150 and 152.

A lot can happen in a year!

It is absolutely post-worthy! Great job Katy!

I definitely think it's post-worthy - you're an inspiration to us all.  Congrats for taking off all that weight.  You must feel fantastic!

That's amazing!! And of course it's post-worthy! Congratulations on an excellent year, and all your hard work.

 I just joined about a week ago. Weigh in at 200lbs.

Sort of short term goal is 180-185 by June (I'm getting married)

Long term goal- a year from now is 150lbs.

So I hope I have the same kind of success you have!!! Any tips for those of us just starting out?
