It is approaching my 6th month mark and I’m half way to my weight loss goal. Right now I feel like my body is really testing me. I’m one pound away from my half way mark major goal and for the past 5 days I haven’t been able to lose. Thus far I’ve struggled with not eating enough carbs or calories but I’m really working on trying to find the right intake for my body so that I can work out and not stall out on weight loss.
Losing weight Would not be possible without the right mind set. After joining the losers bench, I’ve learned to love myself, I’ve learned to have better self control even though it’s still a struggle everyday, I’ve learned to not emotionally eat, and I’ve learned to meal prep. I’ve learned so much but the best thing was learning to love and take care of myself. I’ve never felt this way about myself before and I’m thankful to be in a positive place. It took hell and back to get here but I’m where I want to be and I’m ready to live my best life. Without the sour, the sweet just wouldn’t be as sweet, so it took my lowest of lows to get to where I am. I know that when I reach my weight loss goals, I know that losing weight will not be a cure all in my life but I hope to continue to maintain and inspire others to do anything they want in life. The world is yours for the taking, as long as you have the right mindset, you can do anything!
“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it WILL subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts FOREVER.
The most important thing is this: to be able at any moment - to sacrifice what you ARE, for what you will BECOME!”

Congrats to last months winner, Adrienne Taylor!
Our give away prize this month is:
Testing
Worst thing, there are a few. The saggy skin and boobs, not being able to drink while eating. The heartburn.
Best thing, losing almost 200 pounds and being able to stand more than 10 minutes, walk several blocks, not using the scooter at stores.
Most looking forward to - being inconspicuous. I won't draw attention everywhere i go just from being huge. Sometimes that is all people look at. Who you are doesn't seem to matter.
Least looking forward to - i guess the opposite end of that. I have always been able to use my weight as an excuse. To not do something or go somewhere because i was too heavy or too large. With the weight removed the excuses will be too. That is kind of scary. Exciting but scary.
Best:
The first time someone didn't recognize me because I looked so different. That was an amazing feeling, and I'm still shocked by the comments I get daily.
Worst:
The first time I looked at myself in the mirror (naked) after losing 89(!) pounds...I nearly cried. I still saw the same person that I saw at my heaviest. In clothes, I'm happy looking in the mirror, but without I'm disgusted.
