80 down 30 to go :)

I started my weight loss journey on Mach 5th of this year. I finally had enough and was tired of being fat!! I am 30 pounds away from my first major goal to be at 174. I have had good days and bad, but mostly good. I am happy with the changes and know they will only get better

My story: I have always been a little heavy but as I teen I stayed fit between the Fire Department and civil air patrol. My weight usually stayed the same but then I had kids. My oldest was born 14 weeks premature and the 3 months he was in the hospital I gained over 30 pounds and over the years and one kid later I stopped caring and was almost 300 pounds!! Now I care, I want to be healthy for my boys, I want to get active in the Fire departmet again(in the process now). So many good things are coming from my weight loss and I am glad I decided to make this change for me, my husband, my kids, for everyone!!

Starting weight of 284, currently 204.

Here are some pictures from before, during and now

This is my first time posting so hopefuly it works!!
