6 Months Out

Mar 22, 2009

Well guys...Today makes my 6 month surgiversary. When I started out on this journey I made a couple of mini goals. One of my mini goals was to lose 100 lbs within 6 months. Well guess what FAM...I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!! I made it to my goal. I have lost 102 lbs. I started this journey weighing in at 333 lbs. I got on the scale this morning and it read 231.9 lbs. Can you believe it? Well at one point in this journey I didn't think that I was going to make it. It seemed like the weight was not coming off and that my goal was unrealistic but GLORY BE TO GOD, He heard my cry and knew that I really wanted this tool to work for me. He gave me the strength to continue on and be triumphant in this walk. When I started this journey, I told my family and friends that my goal was to be able to get into a size 18 again...well, I am in a size 18 and this is not where I want my journey to end. Don't get me wrong...I am not complaining nor am I unhappy with my progress but I know that God gave me this tool and I can do so much more with it. So within the next 4 months I want to lose another 50 lbs. Thank you to all of my OH fam for your support and words or encouragement and wisdom. I don't think that I could have survived without all of you.

One more thing...how do I get my Onederland card?

I will post 6 month pics soon.

Peace,
Shantelle
