OH thank you so much!! I am so glad you could get a piece of motivation from my journey!! I have worked SO hard since March 2011... to lose this weight...It is still almost unbelieveable to me that I could lose the weight. My entire weight loss testimony is tied to the Lord so I can't be more pleased that I have "put my money where my mouth is"...but for the Lord I'd still be 273..or most likely even higher. But I am nobody special, no gimmicks, no special potions or whatever, just good food, water and lots and lots of sweat and I really don't make excuses...I still eat lots and lots of GOOD food and treats but my food is made in my kitchen and not in a lab. I feed my family good food and everybody exercises!! I'm so blessed to not have got high blood pressure or diabetes because I was surely on my way... I saw on your page in your intro that you said a few times that you were gonna get below 200...Whooo I have been there!! and now look, you are SO close, it is a reachable goal and beyond. I am doing things I never thought I would or could do..like running...........I can run 10 miles........straight! and NOT die, and I LIKE it!!! can you believe that? I've only been running for 10 months and I started out by walking 1 min and running 30 seconds....then walking 1 minute and running 1 minute,...then walking 2 minutes and running 90 seconds...and before I knew it, 9 weeks had past and I could run 3 miles straight...the C25K app and training program REALLY WORKS...now I'll be running a HALF MARATHON in March!!! God is GOOD!! and He delights in Mercy so plan it out girlfriend.........do what you can......and you can and will change your life!! Sorry to write such a book but I just KNOW where you are and how it feels but I wanted you to really know that THIS can be done...and i' m not just talking about the smaller clothes and whatnot, those things are GREAT! But I'm talking about being real and being comfortable in our own skin...for the last 25 years...I just really wasn't myself with all that fat around me...and as a Christian I was a poor witness because my body didn't match all of the things I knew i could and should be doing to glorify and the Lord...He says to keep our bodies under subjection...why arn't our churches teaching and obeying this...slothfulness and gluttony are Sins and there are consequences for our sins...I have repented for my sins of gluttony and slothfulness...the devil is a liar and I'm not letting him steal any more what the Lord has for me!!! Lord Bless you as well.....let's just do this thing :) Clarissa 3108 days ago
