    Thanks guys, the BEST advice i can give is take the time to appreciate you at every step of the journey. Reflect on how far you've come, stop and think sometimes.

    I got so caught up in that number on the scale going down, that I couldn't fully appreciate the milestones, instead of bieng happy i had awesome biceps, I kept staring at the "apron" I could see a shadow of below my shirt and feeling fat because of the number on the scale. Same thing with every picture, all I could see was what was wrong.

    from now on.. I will look for all that is right!! Good luck to all!!

    First i want to say congrats, you look amazing. Second let me say that reading the above really touched me. When i started my journey a little over a year ago i focused so much on the number on the scale and i know i didnt pay attention to the milestones and the small changes that were happening to my body(now i know all those small changes brought me to where i am today).

    I have recently made the decision to not even step on the scale for a while and just continue to live my healthy life style. I see so many changes happening and i am only 10 pounds or so away from my goal.

    you are amazing and especially after reading your post i see that our happiness should never be dictated by a silly number that pops up on the scale.

    You go girl! Take control. The more muscle you build the more you will burn when you are sitting at a desk doing nothing. Don't give up.

    Thanks so much guys!! I also want to say take pictures on this journey!!! The bicep pic, I was alone on the beach one morning doing a "head cleansing walk and no one was around so I played with the camera.. I had NO IDEA my arms even looked like that LOL!!

    (fat brain was busy going.. eww your triceps look awful and look at your stomach.. smh..) Be careful of the evil fat brain, it exists, I would put on pants that would right back to the floor if i let go, I went to church one day and an old lady pulled me aside and said, honey, don't you think it's time you got some clothes that fit? I looked down at my "favorite shirt" that now looked more like a favorite dress.

    Long way to go, but with much faith and prayer. I know I will get to exactly where I NEED to be!!

    Plateaus, gains, obessions, etc: no matter what, Everyday we wake, is a new chance to begin again.

    We are all success stories, wether we realize it or not. Thanks again guys!!
