Goodbye to the 200+ pound woman!

Spring 2007
Spring 2008


I am so happy, ecstatic, proud, giddy, excited, determined, motivated, etc!!!!!

For years I had hoped that one day I would be free of my 200+ body. And for years I just honestly didn't care enough about myself to really do anything about it. Last fall I finally got to the place in my life where I cared and I wanted to live a healthy lifestyle and honor God with my body. I started cutting down on my carb intake and really put forth effort into cutting out/down on bad foods/drinks and eating much healthier. And the best birthday gift I ever gave myself was joining the YMCA this past February. My highest weight was 218 and as of yesterday's weigh in at the gym, I am currently 188!!!!! I'VE LOST 30 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a lot more to lose but I am so excited about being healthy and looking and feeling better. Being overweight is so debilitating and robbed me of a lot of fun and happiness for years. NOT ANYMORE!!!!!!

GOODBYE 200+ WOMAN!!!!!! I WON'T BE SEEING YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!
