Size 20 to Size 12 in 130 Days with PICS

On 1/9/17 I stepped on the scale for the first time in about a year. I was shocked, devastated, angry, ashamed, sad and about every other emotion you can think of. My anger really set it and I was so mad at myself. How did I allow this to happen? What was I waiting for?

The scale said 235!!!!! That is he heaviest weight I have ever been and it was unacceptable. I could come up with every excuse in the book and some are valid but I knew I needed to figure it out. So I did that same day. I ate well the rest of the day and went home and looked up a good cardio workout online and did it. I may have used all of the modified moves and taken a few too many water breaks but I did it. And I have continued to do it everyday for the last 167 days. Thank goodness it is a lot easier and much more enjoyable now.

I haven't given up anything but I do make better choices. Typically following the 80/20 rule with my eating habits. I never indulge but about 20 percent of the time I give in and have a little of what I want in moderation. It's realistic to achieve my goals. When you give everything up it is so unrealistic and leads to failure all too often. I found what works for me and my new lifestyle. I found a new love for fitness and workout 5-7 days a week.

Currently down 52 pounds and four pant sizes in just over five months. (Currently 183 pounds!!!) Still have 30-40 pounds I would like to lose.
