Just keep hiking

🏆🏆Looking for success? I've FOUND IT!! A picture is worth 1000 words (TY TY MFP!) 288 to 178!
A picture is worth a thousand words. From 288 to 178! How did I do this? By myself? My own knowledge? NO WAY!! I had gone from 288 to 256 that way, but was already not progressing in 2010!

Today is day 15 alcohol free. Starting over with diet and exercise today. About a year and a half or so ago, I went a couple of months with no alcohol and dieting and exercising regularly.

Let it GO! Decluttering (simplifying) your life of (people, places or things) success stories?
Decluttering and throwing away or giving away the multitudes of "stuff" I have or have had for years (without using) is really helping me so much in this weight loss mind-set. What I'm doing is, ANYTHING I have, that I haven't used in 2 years or more...OUT IT GOES. Now this isn't as easy as it sounds, but as I'm downsizing…

Melting Away
