6 months and 36 pounds later..

samanthahix12 · November 2013

Today marks six months since I decided to turn my health around. Six whole months of eating at a calorie deficit and getting more active. Six months of steady weight loss and unwarranted comments and appreciated compliments. It truly doesn't seem like it's been this long but the calendar doesn't lie.
Over the past few months, I have lost 36 pounds and gained an immeasurable amount of confidence. And I didn't gain that confidence solely from my weight loss. I gained it from doing well in school and learning new things. Knowledge truly is powerful. In short, I'm proud of myself in more ways than one. So, here's a thank you to myself and to the people who have made the journey a little easier.

I still have a few more pounds to lose but I'm excited to get to my goal! I'll be starting heavy lifting with a friend who happens to be a personal trainer in the next week.

My befores are in the plaid shirt at my son's birthday party in April and the other pictures are from this week!

You look AMAZING! And I love that you have taken non-weightloss goals into consideration (education) when describing your confidence. I think that sometimes we get so caught up in our weighloss that we forget there is more to the journey to a healthier lifestyle. It should include several aspects of self improvement, not just our pant size. I am proud of you and the hard work it took to accomplish all your goals thus far. Keep it up and never stop learning. That is what life is all about. Never forget it!
You are fabulous! and you are worth it!
