Let me take you on a journey, a journey through pictures from one year ago.
This was the end of October 2010
November 2010, I don't normally do body shots and this one of my family was the best I could get, and notice I am still trying to use JD as a shield. I am infamous for cropping my photos because I have never liked what I looked like...
More November 2011
I think I hated what I looked like so much that I did not get any photos with me in them for December 2010 and January 2011. I know sad huh?This was us in February 2011, when we visited our friends in Utah
March 6th 2011 I was watching Biggest Loser, probably eating cookies or something and decided that I needed to change my lifestyle, become healthier. I figured it 400 + lb. people can do it,I could too. Granted, I didn't have a trainer, nor 8 hours in my day to workout hardcore, but I could workout and eat less. So I started the next day. I started out slow and easy, but I was doing it and that's what mattered. I have never put myself on a diet. That doesn't work for me. I can't even say "no sugars" or anything like that. I like my treats! I just say to myself things like: Less! Smaller! Controlled portions!

And me today, November 8, 2011. No cropping of pictures. Go ahead, scroll back up and see the difference. It's huge. I know.
Today I am 30.2 lbs lighter than I was 8 months ago, almost to the day. I am about 3 sizes smaller, but most importantly, I feel so much better....physically and emotionally. I did this for my family, but more importantly, I did this for myself! I am giving myself a new goal now, because I can still get even healthier. It's all about baby steps. If I would have said to myself 8 months ago that I needed to lose 50 lbs, it would have seemed so out of reach. So I didn't. I made smaller goals, reached them till I reached my ultimate goal -30, and now that I have done that, I have made a new one... -10-15 lbs more. It's doable. Thanks for all the support everyone! I appreciate it sooooooo much!
