My journey - 23.4 lbs down, photos included

hi all

One of my myfitnesspal friends suggested I share my story on the community boards.

I have gone from a size 20 to size 10 in 6 months.

I reached my heaviest weight January 2015 (186.8 lbs) and had been overweight for several months prior. I have also been ill for 3 years and was very ill during the period that I was overweight. I really struggled with my weight and health for several months. Over time, I became very active in several different activities/exercises, including karate, biking, yoga, meditation, tai chi, swimming, and recently, kayaking.

From January 2015 to July 2015, I have lost 23.4 lbs

My ultimate goal is to lose 45 pounds total, with the ultimate goal weight of 140 lbs.
