Century Club member! (with pics)
Well, after 15 months, I've finally reached 100 pounds lost! I still have 50 more to go until my goal, but I know it's coming. I actually lost the last 5 pounds on a trip to South Africa. I walked a lot, and the people there eat much healthier than here.
First, my before picture:

“Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence. What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb. What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.? JRM
