First Crossroads

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13 KJB
My first weigh-in was on January 18th and boy was it an awakening. I had no idea I weighed so much. I weighed-in at 351 pounds. This is not an easy thing for me to share with all of you but this is where I started!! Gloria also measured me and had a hard time reaching around the bulk of my body!! I was so embarrassed and her encouraging words were a comfort! It took me a long time to get up the courage to tell all of your the following little tidbit of info---the measuring tape would not go around my hips!! Well, I knew that I was in the right place to make some much needed changes in my life. I set a goal of 30 pounds by my birthday on April 14th.

My next weigh-in was on February 1st. In 2 weeks I had lost 15 pounds. My weight was 336. Now I know that you lose "water weight" at first but I did not care!! I lost 15 pounds!!!!! I was halfway to my goal!! I could not wait to weigh-in again. On February 15th I weighed again and lost 8 more pounds. I had been going to the gym for one month. It was hard work and I was sore all the time but it was worth it. The Living Lean meals were really delicious and so convenient. I now weighed 23 pounds less and had only 7 pounds until I reached my first goal!!!
