May 13 - December 31 40 lbs difference. I’d been swimming for a long time but in May, I started lifting weights too. The change was stark, both in my shape and my confidence. Weight loss works differently for everyone but this year, I can say I did what it took to get my health in order and at 41, I’m more confident than I’ve ever been. I have a long way to go, but I’ll get there. Whatever your goal is, I’m rooting for you too. We can do this!
