one year and 25 lbs

It's been about a year since I started getting serious again about losing weight.  I haven't checked in since September because, well, I haven't really lost more than a couple pounds since then. I've been ranging from 171-173 the last few weeks, but for posting purposes, we're going to go with 171 here.  :)

One-year check-in:

   starting weight (Dec 15, 2011): 196
   current weight: 171
   goal weight: 160
   pounds lost: 25
   pounds to go: 11

That's 25 lbs in a year!  Not super speedy, but I also don't plan on gaining any of that back since I lost it so slowly. Here's a fun little photo comparison.

Now I just need to maintain it through a holiday work lunch at yummy Italian restaurant, Christmas at mom's, and a ring of pecan kringle that's calling my name in my freezer. Then it'll be time to get back on the wagon to see what I can accomplish in 2013.
