Destination weight 175 pounds
Total weight loss to date 50.6 pounds
78.4 pounds to go
Through this 68 day journey, if one thing has been made crystal clear to me, that me posting my weight loss journey on Facebook is less about me and more about how this might help someone else just like me. Sure I have lost weight and still have a lot of weight to lose but what about you? Have you been watching this wondering how you could get up the courage to post your scales on Facebook to your entire world?
I am not wondering, I know you have the courage. You’re the same person you were as a teenager, with the same hopes and dreams. Maybe you’ve achieved some or all of those dreams, maybe not. This weight thing that you have been struggling with, it just seems to own you at times, you put it off, you say I’ll get to it later. I know I have to lose the weight but after the birthday cake, special dinner, vacation, you fill in the blank. The point is you have put it off for so long the pounds have just accumulated to the point that you don’t even think it’s possible to lose the weight now.
I’m here to tell you you can. Period.
I’m the worst of the worst when it comes to not sticking to my eating program…..until now. This accountability is powerful, it gives me strength that was not there before. Yesterday, the day before, and the day before that. I will be 175 pounds before Thanksgiving. You can do this too.
No I’m not on commission here, but I am on a mission. If you’re reading this and don’t think that you can do this, you can.
What will it matter if someone laughs at you, they think you’re a fool for posting your scales. When you have lost the weight, they all stop laughing, but more importantly, you get your life back. You get to win, the secret is I don’t hear anyone heckling or laughing. I only hear what it sounds like when I’m 175 pounds again.
Your time is now.
Message me if this is your story that I am writing about. I believe that you have a new story to tell. One of health, fitness, activities, long life, and most of all joy. The joy that you get from facing this giant and winning.
Press forward.
175 pounds here I come!!!
