Hey fitness pals! So today marks my 2 year FITVERSARY! It's the benchmark of when I took my health more seriously and do a bit more self reflection on how I treat this vessel.

There's a lot of talk about journeys and wagons (weather they’re on or off them). If I was on a real wagon journey surely I would have died of dysentery by now, lol. It’s a bumpy ride with lots of unexpected obstacles for sure.

However, since I’m a bit of a Sci-Fi nerd I like to think of myself more as an object in space with a general trajectory that can be altered, but in small increments, and with sustainability. This approach, I believe, is why I’m able to maintain my loss to gradually get me the body & health I deserve. My advice, visualize yourself however you need to and to try to be fearless.

Every day that you are alive you have been gifted something precious & wonderful and you have what it takes to always strive to be a better person to others and yourself.

Here’s the starting stats:
Female
5’7”
32
SW: 238 lbs
Neck: 16.5”
Chest: 48”
Arms: 14”
Waist: 47”
Hips: 48”
Thighs: 27”

Here’s the stats today:
Female
5’7”
34
SW: 165.4 lbs
Neck: 13.5”
Chest: 39”
Arms: 10.5”
Waist: 34”
Hips: 41”
Thighs: 21”

Total loss of 72.6lbs!!!

Back in 2013 at my heaviest (more than 238 lbs, but I had no scale so... no idea really! I'd guess 250 lbs or so):

    Thank you so much guys! I'm not at my fitness goals yet... I was hoping to be at a solid 160 lbs by now. But I think I'll be there pretty shortly. I'm not a huge fan of my paunch in my side shot but lifting heavy should help with that *fingers crossed*.

    Thank you so much guys! I had some fun with my style before, but I must say, having lost a decent amount of weight gives you a confidence that you simply cannot buy but that confidence makes you more daring to try out new styles and trends (hence the blue & purple hair). To live boldly has been the biggest gift.
