24 Day Challenge Results!!

We Made it!!!

 

Our results seemed mediocre till we had a day off from work and tried to wear normal clothes!

~Will work on getting Phil's photos up too:)

Getting to shop for new clothes is an extra bonus, the real blessing is feeling great and having freedom from our old eating and drinking habits.
