2018 SW 247.5
2018 GW 195

Ultimate GW 160-165

CW 234.7
WK +.7
YTD WL (12.8)

Week’s challenges: I have been wanting to snack at night after dinner. This is new for me and I have given in too much of the time.

Week’s successes: I was at my lowest weight in 15 years earlier in the week so . . . . I can do this.

I have found it helpful to keep plenty of frozen veggies on hand. Steem in the bag in the microwave & eat whenever you get hungry.
Broccoli is very filling & very low in calories.

Also it was the 52nd week Since I took weight loss seriously and made changes and turn my life around.

I lost total of 55 lbs. In 52 Weeks

This wasn't easy. This didn't come to me naturally. I had to work hard. I struggled. In past I too made many mistakes. And This time I used those mistakes and experiences as tool to Succeed.
After some time many of us lose that "drive" or "fire". It gets difficult to stay motivated , stay focused.
So here, the Real secret is Determination and Passion. It's the Key !!! Without Focus, Motivation, And Determination we can't achieve anything.
(I felt like sharing this. Hope you don't mind )

Aim High My Friends.

Also it was the 52nd week Since I took weight loss seriously and made changes and turn my life around.

I lost total of 55 lbs. In 52 Weeks

This wasn't easy. This didn't come to me naturally. I had to work hard. I struggled. In past I too made many mistakes. And This time I used those mistakes and experiences as tool to Succeed.
After some time many of us lose that "drive" or "fire". It gets difficult to stay motivated , stay focused.
So here, the Real secret is Determination and Passion. It's the Key !!! Without Focus, Motivation, And Determination we can't achieve anything.
(I felt like sharing this. Hope you don't mind )

We Can Achieve What We Put Our Minds to.
Aim High My Friends.
