    I'm still mid journey, so I hope that's okay.

    In October of last year, I woke up one morning and decided to quit smoking. So I did.

    In January, I decided to start up a non-profit foundation for women. So I did.

    In April, I decided that I needed to make some serious changes in my life, regarding my health. I signed up here on April 23rd of this year, and I'm now 56 pounds down. I weigh and measure my food, I watch my intake and I do something for me once a day - yoga, weights or walking.

    SW: 232.3
    CW: 176.6
    GW: I'll know it when I get there

    This is me, shortly after starting.

    And this is me, last week.

    I still have a bit to go. I'll get there.

    294 looks good on you! Goodness! Amazing transformation already!

    Thanks guys! It's pretty surreal to me still! I have avoided the scale like the plague my entire life, so I have no idea when I last weighed this amount... But my sister believes I'm smaller than I was my junior year in high school! (That was the picture she was comparing) And that blows my mind. I'm still waiting for my brain to catch up to what everybody else is seeing!
