edited February 4 in Success Stories
So I am just under 70 days into this life change! I am calling it my Made to Crave journey because this book by Lysa Tyerkurst has litterally revolutionized my mind and the way I see my spiritual health in corolation with my physical health! I am posting my so far pics. I've still got a ways to go (another 83lbs) but I am currently down 32lbs. I exercise 6 days a week. 3 strength training & 3 cardio. I am eating between 1200-1500 calories a day. My before pics are from a while before I restarted this journey. I officially started July 16! Well, here we go!!


Black Pants April 2013 (Didn't start until mid July) Red Shorts Sept 19 2013. I am wearing the saem sports bra in both though.

    32 lbs in 10 weeks is a great loss! I'd love to lose 30lbs by New Year's, but so many people are telling me it's impossible. Your story has made be believe it is
  • Wow! Well done to you. Keep it up, that is a truly fabulous difference :smile:

    Congrats! You look amazing! Keep it up!!!
  • I'm just starting my journey (well, this particular one ; ) "Made to Crave" in your post title caught my eye when I popped over to the Community board. We just started that study, incorporating other tips, on Wednesday nights at our church. Glad to see you are having success. It's amazing what a difference 32 lbs makes! In just the face pix you can see how healthy you look :) Thx for sharing.
