As of today I officially lost 50lbs over the course of 10 months! I'm 5'8 and started at 198lbs and am now 148lbs. I did a few different things here and there especially at the beginning but mostly I lost the weight through power walking. Nothing fancy, nothing crazy just walking. I walk fast and strong and hard but it is totally possible to lose weight through walking. I HATE working out but I love walking outside and that's why I stay committed. I ate healthy everyday and logged my food and that helped tremendously as well. I finally feel comfortable in my own skin after 3 babies, a binge eating disorder and riding the fat/thin roller coaster for years! My goal I set for myself was to lose 50lbs before my 40th birthday in September and I am so happy I accomplished it. I was never able to reach my weight loss goals before so that's big for me. It doesn't stop though. I will continue my walks and eating healthy. Maintaining can be a struggle too but I refuse to undo all my hard work this time!
