[blackanese25 160]

I haven't been posting lately because honestly.. im not sure what else to say.. I have had one hell of a journey these past 6 months.. and I feel terrific.. I just want to let anyone out there that worried know.. if you work your sleeve it will work for you!!!!! I couldn't be happier.. Im not even sure that I want to hit goal because im really happy with where i am at right now.. i always said that around 160 would be good for me because i have a lot more muscle than most so at a heavier weight I think I look ok.. So instead of waiting to hit goal I am officially posting my before and after pic. Again a huge thank u too all of you for your support during my journey I hope I can be a support for others on their journey!

In keeping with my redneck girl theme for today, you need to listen to a song by Trace Adkins: "One Hot Mama"!

_{Great job, You look terrific!!!}

thank you so much.. that last one was hard for me to do i haven't been in a bikini since i was 17 but i swore to myself that would be the day that i felt like i was me again..

Well, Ange, having watched your journey, I think you've always been YOU. You're just showing a cuter package to the world now. You feel great! It's obvious in how you stand, how you write and in how great you look. Too bad you're in California. That's a long trip just to have a girls' night out with ya!

You look wonderful, gorgeous, fit and so happy. It definitely comes in handy to see the end of the rainbow for someone that a little over a week out and suffering with gas, surgical, drain pain and extreme fatigue. I know that one day I'll be a lot better and this part will be behind me.

MIna im sure right now it seems like the pain wont end.. i know i was there.. the gas sucks, the motivation to do anything is even worse.. but once u get over that hill u will be able to enjoy your sleeve.. even now sometimes its still a pain in the butt, but I couldn't imagine what my life would be like had i NOT embarked on this journey 6 months ago.. And every day I am thankful that I had the opportunity to go thru with it. I think when i first started my journey all i did was look at the success stories because it gave me a viable end result that i could physically see in others.. and if it werent for this site and the wonderful people on it im sure my journey may have been much different. I wish u all the best and just know that it will get easier as time passes.
