    I haven't posted on here in a while, but I am just SO darn proud of myself that i had to share. i finally hit the 40lb mark after a long plateau. yay! Now weight is starting to steadily come off again. I looked back on some pictures and was shocked at how different I actually look.

    I NEVER thought i'd be here. This is the longest I have stuck with anything and it truly has become a lifestyle for me now. I LOVE working out and look forward to it (most days!) because I know how good it makes me feel and the awesome progress i'm making. i'm nowhere near my ultimate goal yet, but i'm definitely on the right track!

    This May marks 1 year since I started my journey...and I just so happen to be celebrating with a 5k!! My first one ever!! (The Color Run). I'm so excited!!

    hope you're all well!!


    -Lauren

      Very proud of you!

      That is me, as of now - in the 280s, and while I have not moved much the past couple weeks (both exercising and the scale), I am ready to tackle this once and for all!

      WOW, Congratulations!!!! So so happy for you. I am looking to get more inspirational friends to help motivate me throught my journey. I hope you will accept my friend request. I lost 50lbs in 2003/04 Had a baby in 2005 and I maintained my weight loss but now I am slowly creapying back up. I refuse to keep on gaining. I have to loose weight but this time around it feels so much harder.

      Way to go! You don't look like 244lbs - you look much smaller in your mirror pic - must be all those workouts! Keep up the great work and good luck on your journey.
