I have found this challenge hard as I don’t really know what I am dreaming for. I am not wanting to run a marathon or suddenly turn into a gym bunny - that really isn’t me. I am not losing weight to turn into somone I have never been. I prefer being slimmer and know I have more energy when I am and love the compliments. But my husband loves me whatever and so does God. I like myself better when I am slimmer. i would like a flatter tummy and to lose the stretch marks but the latter probably isn’t going to happen. I have had 3 kids you know. So i have to make the best of what I have without being unrealistic.
So what is my aim. To have enough energy to continue with what God has in store for me. To be a good steward of my body. And to enjoy life as it happens. I believe being slim helps with all those things. Sorry i haven’t really fulfiled the challenge but didn’t think I should just invent something that isn’t there. I am very impressed by some of those dreams out there. Go for it ladies.
I find that losing the extra pounds that hinder me is so freeing. I get what you are saying. Life is so much more when you can enjoy every aspect of it without restriction. I feel the same way!

I get what you’re saying also and like Leann said, I’m looking forward to being free. I think my weight has definitely hindered me where God’s plans are concerned. Isn’t it great to have a husband who loves you no matter what? Mine would have been gone long ago if he scared easy lol.
Great point about being a good steward of the body God has given you!
