#enoughfluff

At my highest weight I weighed 240 lbs. At my lowest weight I weighed nearly 130lbs. I lost 100 lbs in a year, but it hasn't been so easy to keep off. I have been struggling to get back out of the 150s for the last year and every time I get close I muck it up somehow. My weight is a constant battle and it's seemingly always changing. Up. Down. Left. Right. You name it, my body has been there. That being said, as much as I groan about not being back at my lowest body weight, look how far I've freaking come! Sometimes you need to take a step back and realize your progress on a bigger scale rather that focus on the tiny details. Monet was on to something.

Because of how much weight you will need to lose (anywhere from 100 to maybe 150 pounds), I would venture an educated guess and say yes, you will most likely have loose skin at the end of your journey. HOWEVER, that thought should NOT stop you from losing the weight. What’s better? To be unhealthy and have that extra skin, just still filled with fat inside, or to be healthier than you’ve ever been (and all the amazing benefits that come with that) and have some skin that hangs a bit? The pros outweigh the cons in losing weight. And skin removal surgery is always an option down the line. I follow two blogs (enoughfluff & funeralformyfat) who had tummy tucks to remove their loose skin and one blog (imgonnamakeachange) who had breast reconstruction surgery to remove the loose, saggy skin in her boobs. Go ahead and look through their blogs to follow their journeys and surgeries. I promise, loose skin is nothing to be worried about. If it happens, you figure out what to do about it then. For now, focus on making yourself fit, healthy, and happy :)

I have a very picky list of people that i recommend because My name will be on the recommendation, so i like to either know the person personally or have gotten to know them over tumblr so i know what they post is what i promote. I dont want to ever be linked to unhealthy blogs. 

Alrighty so The other day I bought a couple of avocados for the first time. (for some reason my family has never used them in cooking) I was really scared to try them. So I asked for some recipes that called for them and the best (and only ;) ) answer I received was to "Put. It. On. Everything" haha so In honor of this sound advice from Madelynn (enoughfluff.tumblr.com) I made a veggie wrap (she's a vegetarian) and it was holy freaking crap delish! Cream cheese Dill weed & chives salt pepper Avocado (Duh) Sautéed mushrooms Mozzarella cheese On a pita :)

Hey! This is the challenge I’m following just on my own that enoughfluff made :) So far, I haven’t taken any breaks during them. I still need to do 85 for today! P.S - Your progress photos are great!!!

I'm on Day 11 & LOVING this challenge! Day 1 was easy, but on Day 2 I actually was thinking "maybe I'm so out of shape I should go slower." But I toughed Day 2 out and have been having a wonderful time since. I <3 this challenge. And the BEST PART: between this and the rest of my routine, there has already been a change in my boo-tay! From flat to a small bubble. And my legs feel stronger and better. :) Yay for squats!

These two girls have motivated me so much! And they are not the only ones! There are so many that inspire me to be and do better everyday. These girls just gave me the push to take the leap of faith!! So far I have lost 53 pounds and I have gain my life back!! I still have a way to go but I am doing it!!
