Although 20 pounds is just a start, it's been amazing what I have gained from losing even just 9% of my weight.
I'm not out of breath when we go to the zoo, I can run 3 miles 3-4 days a week, my clothes fit better and I've had to buy some smaller sizes. I actually like the way I look in pictures now!
If anyone is struggling to get started, love yourself enough to make the change. Once you get started and see results, you will be more addicted to your success than you could ever be to sugar or processed foods.
It's all clean eating (lots of raw fruits and veg), exercise, and self-care.
I can't wait to post again in another 20 pounds

I really relate to what you're saying. I had a similar starting weight and have lost 20 pounds so far. I have more to go, but "just" 20 pounds have made me feel and look better. When I catch a glimpse of myself in a mirror, I like what I see, and so much of the negative self-talk that used to be running through my mind has quieted. It's really inspiring to think of how I will look and feel at goal weight, and now I'm really believing that it's just a matter of time before we both get there!
We can do it!4 -
