#transformationtuesday - weight loss updates!

 It's been about a month since my last side by side.

It will be 7 years this coming May since I Got on track.

The progress is slow at times.


But I can tell you...


Losing over 25-30% body fat & 20+ inches in my thighs, to my arms to many other body parts from head to toe.

Its been hard work but worth it!


I haven't had surgery & I have lost over 250lbs, it's been very hard work.


I've cried, I've bled, I've had injuries both from the gym & wrestling school, I've screamed, I've broken things, I have gotten so angry I have wanted to give up, among countless other things.


But one thing I haven't done this 3rd time trying to lose weight... 

I haven't given up!

I got help building my esteem and confidence the things I lost when I got bullied in high school for being in shape & giving up on myself after graduation & gaining 300+lbs.


I have a wonderful support system I built for myself but I couldn't have done it without the support of my husband, my family, my friends, my gym trainers, my wrestling school trainers, and of course my doctors ! So thank you!


The thing you have to remember...

It doesn't happen overnight all good things come in time.

Going from 6x clothes down to an L/XL depending on the clothes...

The pants I am wearing right now are a medium in this brand!


Just remember its a life change, you are worth it, make it fun, don't call it a diet, just moderate what you eat, weigh everything, and when you reach a goal, have that cheat meal, and don't overindulge! You got this!


I am not done yet, its time to keep going!

17 years ago!

We met online gaming back in the fall of 2004 and spent almost 6 months talking online/phone and getting to know one another.

He drove 14hrs to Canada & popped the question right on my doorstep!

We ran off 2 days later after we first met & got married ...

Here are to many more years 😍

Plus, yes I am still here, just don't update as much as I used to...

But besides that update!

I am now down over 250lbs

We adopted 2 new kittens last fall, so now we have 6 cats!

Fuzzy kitty (the last one of the 3 that moved here with me from Canada) beat renal failure last summer!

We caught it early & after a 3-year fight, she is still with us today!

All our kitties are doing well!

Not much else to report really.

Just enjoying life, thankful for many things including hubby, family, friends, and kitties!

I hope everyone is well for those of you that still read this lol 😅
