"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

~Theodore Roosevelt

Finally!

This is what I've been waiting 9.5 months to see :)


My weight goal was 135 pounds.
This was me at 174 pounds:


This is me today:


This has been one of my motivations for months--written on my bathroom mirror.
My heaviest was 174. I'd been trying to lose weight for over a month when I weighed to officially start at 171.9.


I will be trying to lose 5-10 more. But I am so excited I finally made it here :)
