More than the weight loss, which is AWESOME don't misunderstand me, there is the change in my health level, the difference in my attitude, and the return of my smile. 
In the past year I have gone from someone who had foot and ankle pain just about every day to someone who can walk a half marathon and walk the next day. I was a person who got winded going up a flight of stairs who now only gets winded by normal activity when I am really sick. Before I was beginning to have blood pressure issues not quite problems but I knew the readings were creeping up. Now I am only registering anything even slightly higher than my normal when I have mega stress or health issue going on. In the past I would have rarely spoken my mind because who would care what the fat chick had to say or thought? Now I speak my mind with more resolve and confidence. I smile more because I figure if people look at me they deserve a smile not a glare. Besides I am happier. NOW I have little fear of breaking a chair just because I sit in it or of not fitting in a booth or in a toilet stall. Now shopping is at least fun, may not be exactly a pleasure but it is fun! A year ago I was almost sized out of Lane Bryant's into tent city. Now I am able to go to just about any department store and buy clothes and in a few more months Lane Bryant's will be out of my size range. 
Before dreams were always out of reach, an impossibility but now they have become possible so I, like Don Quixote, can dream the impossible dream... 
ONE YEAR! WOW!!
