Day 115
Extreme Accountability Challenge
Starting weight 304 pounds
Destination weight 175 pounds
Total weight loss to date 69.8 pounds
59.2 pounds to goAlmost 70 pounds gone forever, it’s hard to believe. I don’t write this to boast, but to give someone like me 115 days ago hope.
I still have a significant distance to travel, almost 60 pounds more to lose, before I reach my destination weight of 175 pounds.

I know how hard changing a lifelong behavior can be. It seems hopeless. It’s not. Maybe posting your scales is a little over the top for you, I know it was for me. But at what point will you be ready. Now is the only time that you have. Now.

Every morning since this public weight loss journey on Facebook began, I wake up with something to say. I’m not a professional writer, but this has opened door to my heart that I wasn’t expecting. I’ve saved every post since the start.

A few months ago I started working on a website to catalog the journey that began on Facebook, not to replace it.

I’ve moved slowly, maybe I’m a little scared, just like the morning of March 15th when this all started. I haven’t taken action as quickly as I should, but I have moved forward.

Next weekend, I will open the doors to another aspect of this journey, I will still be posting daily to Facebook, but you will be able to connect on my website.

This will be another big leap for me, something that I’ve dreamed of for a long time. On that site I will catalog my posts and go deeper. I hope you will join me there and here, those of you that read, comment, and like my posts have made the difference for me.

There are miles left to travel, once again, I’m going outside of my comfort zone, once again it really doesn’t feel safe.
I will continue to press post as I press forward.

Remember comfort and safety are overrated.
Get uncomfortable and take a chance and…

Press post then press forward.

175 pounds here I come!!!
