My mini goal is almost here!! I have 9 more pounds until I can try and test to be my mom's kidney donor. I used to be 155lbs in high school, size 4 pants, very athletic and when I graduated I ballooned to 230 size 14 pants. I am Now down to 209 and can't wait to keep achieving my goals. Hoping to get down to 160 or whatever my clothes feel like! My biggest goal will be if and when I can donate!!! :#

    That is such a great, loving motivation. I am a kidney donor so if you have any questions, I'm available.
    If you have thyroid issues message me! I have a long story, but it might be helpful :)
