It's funny how we both have led similar paths in our lives. I've lost quite a bit of weight to which has totally given me the confidence in wearing certain outfits. I congratulate you at on a job well done and becoming a veteran and can't wait to meet a fellow neighbor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-milestone-#post-511730 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:49:33 +0000 nicoleb 511730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats Janet!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-milestone-#post-511728 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:48:57 +0000 AJ 511728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats Janet!

Wow, has it been a year already? I remember your first days here at the forum, your striking eyes and your edgy necklaces. The time when you started running was so inspirational - I still think of you first every time I find myself trying ti fit running into my schedule. Discovering additional side of you through your amazing photographs was such a treat too!<br /> I have liked the arty side of your style from the beginning, but your style is definitely more refined now and I always look forward to your WIWs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-milestone-#post-511613 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:49:53 +0000 biscuitsmom 511613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats!

CONGRATULATIONS!! You are fab!</p> <p>I have so enjoyed your style journey and continue to do so. I loved meeting you last year and am excited to hug you again next month </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-milestone-#post-511509 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 17:08:48 +0000 Janet 511509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just realized I'm a "veteran" now! Apparently I discovered this lovely group a year ago, on a cold, lazy weekend day much like today (I'm puttering around killing time until the Ravens game). And wow, how much has changed in a year!</p> <p>In looking back, I'm so grateful for the changes in my life and in my style and confidence in the last year. YLF has definitely played a significant role, and at the risk of sounding like a cheesy awards acceptance speech, I really want to say thanks to all of you here, especially Angie and Greg. </p> <p>A year ago, I:</p> <p>- was approx. 15-20 lbs heavier and was able to hike many miles but not run more than two minutes before walking. I hadn't even thought I would ever contemplate running a half marathon, but I did last June, and I'll do it again in March. Now I can run 3 miles with no walk breaks (I'm a little off pace now, need to work myself back up again!).<br /> - had only just purchased my first pair of skinny jeans to tuck into boots. My "uniform" had been bootcut jeans with a button-front shirt or tee. Period.<br /> - was feeling much more self-conscious about my body than i do now. I had a bad habit of putting down aspects of my body that I had always hated. I'm much more accepting now and appreciative of it for what it can do, rather than only what it looks like.</p> <p>With the terrific feedback and inspiration I've gained here, I have become more confident in my style and taste, more willing to take risks...and my bank account is a little lighter from all the shopping I've done! I've purged a huge amount of clothing from my closet that no longer fit my body or my life or my new style, and I've added great pieces that make me smile and feel fab when I wear them. </p> <p>It was a good year, and this one will be even better! </p>
