    Wow! Congratulations! (: Thank you for all of this advise. Seriously. I feel a lot better now and will NOT give up! And how your daughter lost more then 10 pounds is great! (: Thank you again!

    Oh, you are so welcome. Everyone needs a little encouragement sometimes. I'm so glad you're feeling better about things. You can friend me if you'd like also. AND my daughter told me last night it's TWENTY pounds she has lost. I can't believe she even had twenty to lose, but she's so much more fit now, too, I just lost track of the numbers....amazing kiddo. : )

    Once I started seeing the results that's all the motivation I needed to keep going. I don't buy junk, if it's not in the house I won't eat it.

    I started at the same weight (191) and it wasn't always easy, but it has been work it. Someone told me once that if you do something for 30 days, it will be come a habit. Start by logging what you're eating and what exercises you're doing. Learn about the foods you consume; what is in them, good stuff/bad stuff etc. I found getting a food scale (which I got a Aldi for $9.95 and it's amazing, no joke!) and some really cheap measuring cups to be helpful.

    My cousin and my best friend are getting married three months apart from each other this year, and just like you, I didn't want to be "the big girl" in the wedding pictures. At the same time, I am almost 30 years old and I wanted to do this for ME. Because I am worth living a healthy and active lifestyle, because I am worth loving my body, and I am worth the hard work and dedication. AND YOU ARE TOO.

    When I get bored with my workouts, I change it up. I started boxing about a month ago, and talk about a shred. It's a GREAT, and super fun workout that literally works every single muscle in your body. I bring friends with me to class so I always have someone to keep me accountable. But consistency is the key, and you sound motivated. You can do this!

    Once you begin to see results, it will keep you wanting more. I didn't realize how much weight I had lost until my friend's father in law said something to me about it.

    Feel free to add/message me if you need encouragement!!

    Put 19 pounds of flour bags/books/bottled water in a backpack, then walk around the block and up and down some stairs. It will give you a visceral appreciation of what you've done so far!

    You didn't lose just 19 lbs. Take a look at the picture! That's a looooooooooottttttttttt of fat haha :D
    You're doing good! I already have a mental picture of where I want to be at after I'm done with my goals.
    Maybe if it's hard to draw a mental picture, you can buy a dress or outfit that you really want to wear at 120-130 lbs
    and hang it up where you can see it every single day! ;)
