in Introduce Yourself
On February 25,2017 I jumped on the scale and was terrified at what I saw. I weighed almost 200 pounds 199.6 to be exact. That was my breaking point heck no I'm not going over that again. I've never been skinny but being only 5'2 199.6 was just too much. I set a goal to loose 30lbs before my 30th birthday, which is in August. I was giving myself 6 months to lose the weight. I've never been motivated with a diet or stick to it but I was serious this time. Through I started going to the gym and eating around 1200 calories a day except for Saturday's I'd indulge a little. Well at the 2.5 month Mark I hit my goal I went from 199.6 to 169.6!. I have 3.5 months before my birthday and a new goal to loose another 15-20 pounds by then and hopefully 30 by the end of the year.

    Feel free to add so we can motivate and support each other. Our stats and weight loss goals are very similar too! I've lost 30lbs thus far and need to lose about 20 more.

    Thanks! I have posted a little about my journey on fb. But I feel funny about posting about it I do it for my own motivation but others can see it as seeking attention. I'm not ashamed to say I'm proud of my progress!
