Today is my birthday!

I'm 24 today.

On this same day last year, I weighed 228.5 lbs, today I weighed in at 157.2 lbs. I have lost 71.3 lbs in the past year and 113.8 in total since I started in June of last year at 271 lbs.

This has been a good year.

DAYUM!  u go girl!  and happy bday!

WOW, RIGHT ON!!!

Any good secrets/tips for all of us still on the long road?

My biggest tip: Give yourself a break now and then. Obsessing doesn't help anyone. Food was and is a big part of my life and a lot of people's lives. I enjoy food that's bad for me and now I take more pleasure in it when I give myself that little break. And I keep the break little.

Just keep getting back on the wagon when you "fall off". It gets easier to just fall into the routine of dieting. You have to really incorporate it into your life instead of just telling yourself that eventually it will be over and you won't have to diet anymore. That's not true.

You have to be happy with your new lifestyle to have it work for you.

CONGRATULATIONS AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

You look amazing in your picture!

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday!  and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
