Hello Fellow MFP Members:
I started this journey on March 8th, 2013. I've tried to lose weight in the past and it just wasn't working for me and I kept giving up. I am at a point in my life where I am stable. Financially and emotionally (unlike I had been in the past). Today I reached a weight loss of 40 lbs! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that number on the scale. Honestly, I sometimes feel like I'm dreaming. Am I really doing this? Have I really dropped that much weight all on my own by watching what I eat and working my butt off exercising (not that I don't count everyone's help an encouragement because that really helps me!). But then I realize, yes! Yes, I have done this. I have overcome so many things in life and I will not let my weight take over. I'm taking over my life and changing my lifestyle for the better! I am going to include some of my pictures to show my progress at the end of this message! And if anyone wants to add me - please feel free! I love adding new, encouraging friends and I try to show my support and encouragement as much as possible!!
