No one ever said it would be a struggle with losing weight. No one ever said Meshendia it will be very difficult to stay focused. No one ever said that I would feel like a failure even though I am winning. No one ever said Meshendia you will feel alone in the midst of your journey. One thing I failed to realize is that GOD said in his word that any and every time you try to overcome any obstacle in life the enemy will try to stop you from succeeding. No one ever said girl it may come a time when you feel like the world is against you to the point one day you will sit in your bathroom cry your eyes out, pull your hair, and break down. NO ONE EVER SAID THOSE THINGS SO I CAN BE AWARE. On the flip side if they did tell me those things will I believe them?
Some days I feel like I have conquered the world and on other days I feel as if I have failed myself. I asked myself what is the purpose of me going to the extreme of losing weight?
I posted this song by Mary Mary to remind myself that it is not going to be an easy road. I have came a long ways and accomplished a lot although, it seems like a little. To remind myself when I feel like I have failed I am one day closer to being a winner. A winner of a healthy life, a winner to my family for being able to live longer, A winner in overcoming obesity, A winner to myself, and most of all that I am always a winner in GOD's eyesight.
God purposely allowed me to be in the last weight loss contest and now this one. He purposely allowed me to be tied to the trainer that I have, meet and bond with the ladies that I have crossed paths with. God at the moment I don’t know your purpose for allowing me to go through the struggles of my weight loss process. But one thing I do know, I will SHINE in your name in the end of the process your taking me through. I have my moments when I feel like all is lost. I will continue to see this process through and continue to be healthier and FIT.
With it all said and done, I JUST CAN’T GIVE UP NOW! (Giving GOD all the praise)
too be continued…

Kansas City Fitness Challenge
The second breaker in this journey was when I signed up for Kansas City Fitness Magazine and was chosen to be one of the 41 contestants to compete for 12 spots in a nine week weight loss challenge.
On August 7, 2010 a friend I workout with at Sexy Back Boot Camps told me about the Susan G. Komen race. I decided right then to just do it. My daughter and I not having any training or preparation ran the Susan G. Komen - Race for the Cure on August 8, 2010. After crossing the finish line I could feel the chains of bondage drop off. In other words at that moment my life officially changed. And I give thanks to God for being with us ever step and run we made.

Joined Sexy Back Bootcamp
Being a part of a group gives me more motivation to push harder when I want to slack off on my workouts. After signing up for Kri Chay's Skinnier Jeans six week weight loss contest, I lost a total of 17lbs. Through hard work and determination.
Signed up for a $2500 Weight Loss Contest
I used the cash prize to help me be more determined about loosing weight.
Starting weight 237lbs. Ending weight 221lbs.
When It All Started
When I decided to let go and let God.
I decided to allow God to lead my life and build a close relationship to the one and only Father in heaven.
