Happy New Year!

I hope everyones year was great!  Mine was great this year.  I learned a lot of new things, my life has progressed considerably since last year, and I met friends that I think I will keep the rest of my life.  I'm gonna watch the ball drop tonight but I will probably celebrate it on sunday.  Sunday is what I call my cheat day, it is the day I can eat whatever I want to, regardless of my diet.  Actually I wouldn't really call it a diet it's more of a lifestyle change.  I'm not really omitting certain things I just don't eat crap often.  Like sweets, soda's, or horrendous amounts of salt, sugar, fat, carbs or calories.  I believe in everything in moderation, along with a steady workout plan and lots of nutritional education.  I have lost a considerable amount of weight since I began this lifestyle change.  I have gone from over 200 lbs and a size 20 jean to a healthy 165 lbs and a size 14 jean... and I'm only halfway there.  I still have to get to my goal weight of 125 lbs, which is the weight I was at before I started gaining.  Here are some photos.  First is what I used to look like at 125 lbs,  what I gained to which is 200+ lbs and where I am now at 165 lbs.  If you are trying to lose weight and want to know my secrets, comment or send me a message and I will be thrilled to share them with you.  My husband is working on a book to chronicle our journeys in hopes that someone will be helped.  Thanks for reading and I hope that you all have a great night.  Be safe and remember to keep on crocheting!
