60 days ago to the day, I embarked on a new journey. This journey was for me to not only lose weight but for so much more. I am becoming healthy, active, fit and most importantly...happy. My goal was to lose 30 lbs in 60 days before I went on a trip to Florida. I leave for that trip tonight and I can happily say that I have reached that goal (-30.2 lbs) and I am proud of that. It hasn't been easy and it will only get harder, but I am finally doing this. This is something I have tried and failed so many times...not this time. This is a life change. I am going to celebrate for a week and may gain a lb or two on my vacation, but ah well. I can lose it when I am back. These side by side photos show the difference so far. The only place I have seen much change is in the face....but notice this. My smile. I am happier. I feel like I look so much better just because my smile is genuine. Happiness is worth this battle!

    Thanks @DeviatedNorm - I have never really been very active in the MFP community, but all of these responses and support might make me want to become more so involved :)

    Thank you so much @smkondy . It is very much appreciated. I will not stop until I do hit it.

    Thank you @juanitagardner07 . I will enjoy it!!!
