Journey to a healthy me

The other day I was thinking back to where I started... I never took a starting photo, because I didn't think I'd be blogging about it. I'm amazed at the transformation. I've lost 55 pounds!

I know I can do it, I just can't let little slip ups discourage me from pushing myself to continue to become healthier.
