So I am just under 70 days into this life change! I am calling it my Made to Crave journey because this book by Lysa Tyerkurst has litterally revolutionized my mind and the way I see my spiritual health in corolation with my physical health! I am posting my so far pics. I've still got a ways to go (another 83lbs) but I am currently down 32lbs. I exercise 6 days a week. 3 strength training & 3 cardio. I am eating between 1200-1500 calories a day. My before pics are from a while before I restarted this journey. I officially started July 16! Well, here we go!!


Black Pants April 2013 (Didn't start until mid July) Red Shorts Sept 19 2013. I am wearing the saem sports bra in both though.

    32 lbs in 10 weeks is a great loss! I'd love to lose 30lbs by New Year's, but so many people are telling me it's impossible. Your story has made be believe it is

    I'm just starting my journey (well, this particular one ; ) "Made to Crave" in your post title caught my eye when I popped over to the Community board. We just started that study, incorporating other tips, on Wednesday nights at our church. Glad to see you are having success. It's amazing what a difference 32 lbs makes! In just the face pix you can see how healthy you look :) Thx for sharing.
