I had an epiphany, I look GOOD! This is the whole reason I started MF, I hated myself... my body, my personality, all that I had become. And today I can tell you that I no longer hate myself. How great is that??? I only wanted to lose weight, not gain self-image! Well, I have done both!

I have always had a more dense body and I like being curvy, so I have decided that when I hit the 170's I am going to start transition and maintenance and focus on good eating habits and TONING! I don't want to be a skinny person with fat deposits and no muscle, I want to tone what I have and not worry about the scale moving down constantly... I want to work-out and get rid of the fat and practice the practical skills I have learned on this process.

I have decided the 170's as a goal for starting transition, I am currently in a solid size 14 and I know that as I tone and exercise I may or may not lose weight and I will probably lose dress sizes and I am OK with that. So getting in the 170s will put me at about 100 pounds lost in about 6 months.

And if in a few months I want to lose more, I CAN!! I know MF and the 5&1 works and I know how to work it. I change my mind often around here, but I feel a strong resolve, this decision is on my terms and not because of finances and I am excited for this next chapter in my journey.

Do a happy dance with me :)
