Greetings from Wyoming. After 22 months, I’ve reached the end of my weight loss journey. I weighed almost 160 pounds 22 months ago, and today weigh 129. I went from being big and soft and lazy to smaller, leaner and stronger. Everything in my life is better. Everything.
Thanks to all of you who have followed my journey. I love you for your support, readership and love!
Please see my more complete “end of weight loss journey” blog post just published. But in doing so, I first wanted to get this list of complete links up in one place so I can reference it from the aforementioned blog post.
