Hey y'all! I am happy about my progress and wanted to share with someone who might understand...it also may encourage someone.
I set a goal at the end of July to lose 16 pounds. I had peaked at 146 pounds (I'm only 5'2 1/2") in June and had gone from a size 4/6 to an 8/10 in less than two years. Needless to say, I wanted to turn it around. I rejoined my gym and started eating better and got serious with myself and in six weeks, I've lost 10 pounds and am back in a size 6. I don't go to the gym everyday and I don't starve myself or anything, but I workout regularly (cardio and strength training), count calories, eat healthier foods in better portions and cut out sweets, juices, and sodas. It has made all the difference. I am now 136 and I look and feel better which has done a lot for my spirit. I still have 6 more pounds to go to reach my goal. I will continue to make healthy choices and workout to continue toning muscles. My dress comes in this month or next and it will be too big...I can deal with that though. Thanks for listening!
