Well I have finally reached healthy bmi goal I set for myself over 2 years ago. I have learned SO much about fitness and now care more about my body fat then my BMI. Currently at 27% bf shooting for 24%. I have so many to thank ALL of my MFP buddies who have encouraged me no matter what, THANK YOU! My family and the Lord. Through HIS holy spirit he gave me all the resources for the journey. Longsuffering! Patience! and Self control to name a few :smile:

The scripture that kept me pushing the whole time:

Galatians 6:9
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

I am currently injuired and have not been able to do my choice workout heavy lifting because of an injuiry. It has been 3 months. That has also discouraged me in clean eating. I was making a huge changes in the TUMMY area of my body for the six month I was eating no sugar or refined carbs.

But I lost the last 4 lbs following my cals and doing cardio. So it all works people. Just keep going :drinker: Happy Thanksgiving :drinker:

    You look AMAZING. You are an INSPIRATION. WELL DONE.

    I am 3 pounds from being "Overweight" and I am so excited. Thanking you for proving the path from overweight to healthy and goal weights will follow and for confirming the sugar and refined carbs thing. Can't hear that one too much.
