Progress not perfection - I might not be there yet but I will be.

Things I've learned along the way:

1. Patience is a virtue
2. Be kind to yourself
3. Lose the all or nothing mentality
4. Never lose hope even when the odds are against you

SW: 204 lbs

    Thank you all .. it's been the weight loss has come slow but it is totally worth it. I went on a mini vaca for Labor day weekend and I ate to my heart's content for 4 whole days and only came back w/ a 2 lb weight gain (all water) .. after 3 days of eating right I had lost 3 lbs and was below the weight I was before going on vaca. My point is .. the harder to lose, the harder to gain. I've dieted so much in my life and lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks and for what? As easy as it came off as easy as I put it on plus more!

    Be patient girls ... just put in your work and trust the process.

    I use to be very athletic in high school and have always been able to carry my weight well regardless of my weight but I wouldn't say I was fit when I started back in June. My fittest year was 2011 but I got into a car accident in November of that year and I completely fell off track. I fractured my wrist and elbow had to get plates and pins put in and ever since then I struggled even more with my weight. Slowly but surely I am getting back into the swing of things - my goal right now is to get into a healthy BMI range by changing my old bad habits into good new ones. Once I have adapted to this new lifestyle I'll go full force on creating the fit, strong body I so desire :)
