I changed my life by making small changes that turned into BIG results...
I never thought I would EVER lose all of this weight and let alone 95 inches off of my body. That is over 7 FEET...OMG! I would highly recommeng taking your measurements if you haven't already done so...I'm SO glad that I did. That helps me get through my "fight" with the scale.
If you are struggling or just getting started, please know that you can do this and that small changes can turn into big results.
I was on a plateau for about a year and I was having a hard time with that. I wondered if I would EVER get past that point in my weight loss, but as I look back on that year I realized the true blessing that was there. I was able to maintain a weight loss of about 110 pounds for an entire year! I did go up and down about 3-7 pounds during that year, but I kept moving forward NO MATTER WHAT!
In my former life I would have just given up and been so down on myself for not moving forward that I would have turned my back on all of my success! And THEN the dreaded weight gain would have crept in little by little. As soon as I would see a gain I would start looking at what I was doing and change it right away...I know that plateaus are not always fun, but it taught me A LOT about myself AND my habits. Change your perspective about them and it will change how you look at this journey...
I too have my "eye" on the final prize, but what I have learned on this journey is that I CAN keep this weight off and live a life that is worth living...and you can TOO!

I am starting to realize the same thing. If it takes me a year to get to goal that is almost better than if it takes less because it means that I have kept the other weight off for at least that long. And the longer you keep the weight off, the more likely you are to hit a new normal for your body.0
