I've been on a weight loss journey for some time now. I lost 65 pounds from Jan 2, 2012 to Jan 2, 2013 (no surgery), then I love 15 pounds from Jan 2, 2013 to Jan 2, 2014 and now I'm stuck. I've put about 15-20 pounds back on and normally when I hit a certain weight it triggers something in me and I get back on it so fast. I don't know why this time was different, but it was. I saw the numbers and just didn't care this time. I guess because I feel no matter how hard I work, I'm never going to get where I want, but I know that's the devil's influence. I go to the gym 5 days a week, but the scale keeps staying the same. I pray all the time that God would give me the courage and strength to go back to being completely healthy, but I've realized I'm just saying the words but not really putting my trust in Him like I did when I first began, so this is it. I HAVE to do this. I HAVE to keep going to reach my goal. I have 50-60 more pounds to go to get where I want to be and I really want this, so here's to a fresh start! I don't want surgery, I just want to work hard and say, "Yes! Trusting in Christ helped me reach my goal!"

 

I'm excited to begin this and I'm excited to do this with my dear friend, Susan. 

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
