My Journey....Thus Far...

edited September 2024 in Success Stories
As some motivation for myself and hopefully others, I have decided to share my progress pics...

I begin my journey March 2008 and since then have had my great days/weeks and also some bad ones...but most importantly...I kept going!!! One bad choice of a meal of one day off from exercise did not make me throw in the towel. I have learned a lot from my wonderful friends on here and continue to learn as my journey continues. My success has been slow but steady...and my results will last!!!

When I began, my goal was a number of the scale. I have since changed that. I started with a body fat percent at 29...I am now at 20%...my goal to maintain is 16-18%...that is the true number that really matters...to me...not a fluctuating figure on the scale each day or a size on a tag...but a true representation of my body composition...toned and defined!

:heart: Blessings to each of you on YOUR journey!!! :heart:
