Update on my journey! (MORE POUNDS!!!)
Hello my friends,
I am still in this weight loss thing.. I pray it continues to decrease as I get more active, and eat healthier. I am now at the weight of 234 pounds. This will make my total loss around 570 pounds. The goal is to lose another 20-30! This is a huge step! My goal isn’t that far off! My exercise has increased and it’s becoming more challenging. I am not starting to run longer, and lift more! This makes my day a little harder to get through.. as I do get a little more tired. But!!!!! I will continue! God has not left me this whole time.. He is still giving me the boost to continue.
Also.. the music thing is getting better. I’m still in a rap duo called Panic Attack. Our music is getting more personal, and we pray it inspires people to get closer to Christ in hard situations. You can check us out at these sites. (www.reverbnation.com/attackmypanic) (www.myspace.com/attackmypanic) (www.youtube.com/attackmypanic) also you can become a fan of us on facebook. We appreciate all the support people give us!

Justin…I just read your story in Guidepost and I was deeply impressed by the strength you had during your darkest time. You are a strong young man and you are going to encourage others to take that first step. My heart is so proud of you and although we have not met, I know we will meet one day in Heaven…Hallelujah! I owe you a big hug!

Hi Justin, you give me encouragement to “walk on”, one step at a time. No, I am not 800, 700, 600, or even 230 pounds. I am 165. I was 148 however when 7 months ago I injured my back. I have gained almost 20-lbs and 3 sizes due to inactivity. My doctor has finally released my to walk, slowly walk. I was power-walking an hour a day, I had lost 30-lbs and 3 clothing sizes prior to my injury. I have been depressed over the weight gain and lack of energy. I keep thinking how will I ever lose the weight when all I can do is slowly walk for 20 or 30-mins, “that’s not exercise” my brain keeps telling me. After reading your story in Guideposts, then coming to your site I realize you probably started the same way, slowly walking a few steps, one day at a time. Thus my journey begins. I am getting married in December, right now my dress, already purchased, does not fit me. I have hope and will begin the wweight loss journey today. Thank you for being my inspiration.

You can do it. You gotta start small.. and make your way up. I started just by sitting up out of my bed. How hard could that possibly be? But that was exercise to me. I am praying for you. You can do this! Don’t get discouraged! God will do some amazing things in us if we just continue to put Him first. =)
