I started my journey weighing in at 295 lbs. People ask why and who am I losing weight for, I have no real health issues and my family and friends have not asked me or told me that I should lose weight. I have a loving husband and 5 wonderful children, but they are not the reason I have chose to get healthy. I have decided to love myself, I have decided it was time to start taking care of myself, I have decided that I am worth this journey and I deserve to be the best that I can be. I still have a long way to go, but I am getting there. I am 5 months in and I am now 244 lbs and in a size 18 pant and a 1xl/xl in tops. When I started I was in a size 26 pant and a 4xl/5xl in tops. ckkbhp8i9yzd.jpg

    You can do this, I have another 104 pounds to go, feel free to add me as a friend. This journey is hard at first but so worth it.
    AND thank you everyone for all the kinds words, I almost started crying when I was posing for pics today.
