I appreciate the encouragement. It took a bit to get to this point but I haven't been weighing or measuring myself, as I was getting too impatient with watching my water weight go up and down. I started a dedicated approach march 1st of last year and I think I will just run it parallel and use the pictures/experiences I have been collecting to share a story. I figured it would be motivating to show the "after"(I won't be finished, though!) with the before and then when I finish with that year, I can show yet another years progress out! Thanks for the returned inspiration!! :)
