Julie76 251 Posted June 19, 2012 I started out the this journey at 232. Never really thought I could reach my 135 goal... but this morning I got on m y scale and it said 140.2! I think I may just get there. It's been almost 10 months. Who knows... maybe on my 1 yr anniversary I will be at goal. 11 Missy V 477, ShapeShifter, aroundhky and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atkinsguidry 33 Posted June 19, 2012 Julie76 Did you excercise and if yes how many times a week and what did you do? We are basically the same I started out at 230 and I'm 5'8 would love to weigh 150 some day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julie76 251 Posted June 19, 2012 I don't exercise alot. I was doing some zumba toning and then I had a tumor removed from my leg and haven't got back to it yet. I do stay active though. I ride horses alot and I'm always on the go. If I could say "the secret is ...." I would have to say that it's all about listening to your body. You know when that next bite your about to take is going to be too much. Just don't take it. Your body tells you when it needs sugar or carbs and it tells you when it doesn't. All we have to do is listen. Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
