From 260 to 180. I like lifting heavy things and crushing my goals 💪🏾

It blows my mind that it's been over 7 years I've been doing this.

I once read that most people who lose weight start gaining it back within 3 years without continued diligence.

So, that was my goal. Get it off and keep it off. And, even though I lost a lot of the weight and exceeded my own expectations, it feels like this journey starts new every day. Sometimes I gain weight, get distracted, or just don't feel like doing what i need to do!!! But, then I pull myself together and remind myself that this is not just what I DO, it's who I AM.

So, I may make some mistakes but I'll always get back on track. I’m here to get to my final weight loss goal, lift heavy things (my favorite way to work out) and push my body as far as it can go. This is my lifestyle and I’m determined to keep it up for life. e6enzvsiv017.jpg

    You look amazing!!! And I love seeing people who beat the "people-who-lose-weight-don't-keep-it-off" statistics.

    I rarely comment, but I’ve gotta say it: you were beautiful before and you are stunning now.
    People who stay diligent and tuned in to the process and their bodies- we beat the odds. Stubborn refusal to be a statistic is also useful, I find.
    Way to be a beautiful bad-*kitten*.

    You look amazing! Such an inspiration! I started the same weight as you and am at the same current weight. You have the right mindset! Weightloss is more mental than anything else to me. And looks like you're mental game is on point!
