Today I asked about non scale victories in my challenge groups and one woman who has been working with me in all of my groups for the past 10 months shared this: since I started....I went from barely squeezing in to a size 24 to a comfortable size 18. I have more energy and endurance. I can get through P90 sweat without modification. When I started I could only do 5 sprawls in a minute now I can do 15. In general I feel better about me. The journey has not been perfect, I have had set backs and gained some weight back and then lost it again a couple of times, but I have not quit on myself, that is the difference this time. ************************************************************************************ I share this for many reasons..... 1) Im incredibly proud of my friend!! Im quite positive she doesnt even understand how much she inspires the people around her and the others in the groups that she participates in. More than that, I know what it feels like to finally take control of your life and feel really, really good and I am sooooo happy to be sharing in that joy with my friend. I promised to share this anonymously but you can let her know shes awesome! Shell see it 2) I want you to know that everybodys journey is different!! I know that she still wants to lose weight and it would be easy to compare herself to the people who lost 100lbs in a year or some other quick weight loss comparison but she keeps her focus on herself and her family and being the best version of herself that she can be. Never forgetting that whether you lose it in a year or 5 years, the fact remains that this is a life long journey. 3) Her life is changing. She has spend 10 months working on bettering herself and I expect her to be around for another 10 months and beyond. Your life can change too. We share stories of huge transformations and you see the before and after but too often we forget that there is a BIG IN BETWEEN that happens before the after shot. The secret isnt a magic pill or a quick fix... the secret is finding that fire inside of you that never, ever lets you give up on yourself!! ************************************************************************************ Dont give up because youre in the in between and maybe things arent moving as quickly as youd like or as youve seen some others. The time is going to pass anyway... keep going, keep pushing forward, keep believing in yourself!! I believe in you
