Congrats on the weight loss! You're doing great!
Struggles: Keeping on track some weeks and dealing with gains is my biggest problem.
Hardships: I've recently noticed that more fat is going away and it's noticeable. My arms have extra skin now, but that should be fixable with weight lifting, I'm just unable to do it due to spine problems right now. I've also noticed that the fat at the top of my legs is starting to go away, but it's making all the rest of the fat sag and it's really frustrating. I feel great, but some days I just want to cry.
Victories: I feel a thousand times better about myself. I feel great on the inside as well as outside. I have a lot less issues to worry about health wise now. My cholesterol used to be through the roof as well as my blood pressure and they're both in check. I can FINALLY wear shorts again! All these years I never knew I was a shorts girl and I've found several pairs that I am in love with and not self-conscious about.
Hope that helps!
