::I can't believe I'm doing this::

Hello, my name is Beth. Ever since college, my weight piled on and I felt like I was spiraling out of control. Luckily my (now) husband, then boyfriend, just saw me and loved me regardless. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful and loving husband who supports me in whatever I want to do, and I think that is what made this easier for me. I think one of my biggest motivators was our anniversary vacation we have planned to Jamaica this summer, and I wanted to be beach ready. For prior vacations I did crash diets (that obviously didn't work), but this time I told myself to give an honest effort.
I do not eat 100% clean and I do still enjoy time out with friends and my husband. I have become a lot smarter with how to fit in outings and whatnot.

I feel like I have so much to say but do not really know how to put it all in words, so I will stick to the pictures :)

This is me at about 180 or so lbs July 2012:

I took pictures again in May and finally hit my first goal of 150.0 ON my birthday.

This is me today, June 12, about 148 lbs

I owe all of my toning to the Jillian Michaels No More Trouble Zones dvd that I have done for a year three times a week along with other types of cardio.
I strongly believe that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, and I give Him all of the glory. Also, a special thanks to my wonderful husband for being so awesome.
