254 to 189

Options
I have struggled with my weight since as far back as I can remember. I have lost weight at least 3x in my life, but I have always gained it back. This happened because I didn't make a lifestyle change. This time I have. I am eating healthy and exercising regularly. I care about what goes into my body. I am tired of putting off living life. The time is now to start living and loving myself completely. I started at 254 lbs in January 2013 and I am now 189 lbs. I have lost 65 lbs in 11 months and my short term goal is to lose 80 lbs. 15 lbs to go! From there I will re-evaluate. I am very happy with my progress!

    congrats! I, too have had these same struggles. Went from 290 to 190 then back up to 220. We just gotta keep at it and remember that this is for life; not just for youth.
