Decided I would share with everyone

MamaRiss · September 2014

So, I've been reluctant to share my pictures here ( they are already on my profile), but decided that since it is seeing everyone else's progess that keeps me going I should do it too. So here goes, lets hope I get this right the first time. I started out last October between 180-185 pounds, at 5'4" tall. I looked like ****, and I had to wear a ball dress in a month. I paniced and I ordered the 24 day Challenge kit from a friend that sells Advocare. Worst idea ever, lost about 5 pounds, and gained it right back as soon as I stopped. Enter depression for a few months. In March this year, I was coming up on my 29th birthday, and realized I needed to make a change. So I set a goal of reaching 130 pounds by my 30th birthday. I'm ten pounds away now, still chugging away. I have good weeks, and bad weeks, some bad days, but every day is a new day to try again. So here come the pictures. In a few days when this years ball gown arrives, I'll add a comparison with last years. first pair is from october, second pair from april, third pair from last week at 144 lbs

I can really identify with you and I am very glad you posted your progress. I am also 29, started at 185 lbs and I am also 5'4. I want to be 150lbs and later 135 ish....we will see.

Thank you and congrats!

Congratulations! Sometimes posting these types of pictures is self-motivation enough! You can see where you were, where you are now, and it makes it that much easier to keep going to get to where you want to be! Keep up the great work!
