The BIG WEIGH - IN - 213

So today my whole family weighed in. I was the front runner!! I lost 7lbs. Which is truly a victory. I have two more weeks to lose 7 more lbs. My plan for this two week interval is to work out twice as much and cut more carbs. I have not completely cut carbs but I try to lower them as much as possible and avoid sugar like the plague. I had a couple of weak moments in the past two weeks that I will try to curb this time around. I refuse to let this be in vain. 150lbs is 7lbs nearer. 63lbs to go!!

"Just Keep Swimming"

The First Day of the Rest of My Life

Today I am beginning a new path toward my lifetime weight loss goal. Today I weigh 220.8 lbs. I never thought that I would weigh that much in my entire life. I entered college in 2001 at 155lbs. I was content with my weight and my life as a college freshman. This is my "before."

Depressed. Ill-contented. Disillusioned.

Faith brings me to a point that yearns for an "after."

Confident. Hopeful. Renewed.

This journey begins after many false starts. I have declared my readiness. I am prepared for this journey. My goal is 150lbs. That means I have 70lbs to lose. My time line is indefinite. My motto is "Just keep swimming." Pray for me.
