4lbs away from my goal weight.
I need to sit and reflect on that for a moment. A little over 6 months ago as I sat on fatsecret at 254lbs I thought of a goal weight. I thought about how when I got married I was 135. I thought about how that is just not reasonable with all that I have wrong to get to that weight again. I thought if I could ever just get to 170 that would be so awesome. Thinking all the while that I could lose weight but never that amount.
Well here I sit at 174 just 6 months after sitting here at 254. Wow. Thank you God. I feel wonderful. I feel like I can do anything. I am so very grateful to my friend Sarah who had mentioned a competition between her husband and her and us coming on board as well. I am so grateful for being able to deal with my issues, finally. I am grateful to have a church that supports me and builds me up. I feel so very proud of myself.
I hope that by being so open on here I can help others achieve their goals. I hope to inspire people to lose weight the right way, but changing your life and not taking pills or doing it a dangerous way.
Wow 4lbs away from my goal. I guess it is true. I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me. Awesome!

I am glad to see you reflecting on just where you have been and where you are today!! Such a journey on so many levels. Know that if you continue to make healthy choices that your body will naturally find its new set point. It may not be the 135 you weighed when you got married ... but what does that really matter? You look terrific right now!! I know you feel so much better. You are respecting your body and treasuring what God has given you. You are setting an excellent example in a healthy lifestyle for your daughters. Indeed, for those that want to listen you will be an example. YEA!!! YIPEEEE!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!

I had to come and say job well done. 4 pounds from goal, I am so happy for you and you look amazing. I saw your before and after and I am always surprised how much people change. They never look like the "old" self they left behind when they were heavier. I see in the faces, the eyes, a happiness?, contentment?, peace?, self satisfaction?, confidence?, the expressions are always different. And the way everyone holds themselves differently. Like look at me, here I am. Instead of trying to disappear into the background. You need to be out front and center now, no more fading into the background in photos. :-)

Awesome! You continue to be amazing! Thank you for all the advice and motivation on the way here (Get your fat butt on the treadmill may not be a quote we need soon, it will be: get your skinny butt on the treadmill!) Keep it up, sister!

I agree, we can do all things through Christ! You lost an incredible amount of weight in such a short time! I would be feeling good too if I were you.
