edited January 25 in Success Stories
Hello everyone I have been on a weight loss journey for years and years but only recently started getting serious. In November of 2012 I was 516 pounds. After giving up soda and tea I started to lose some pounds. I also have been through low carb, fat free, and even meal replacement shakes. I now just try to watch what I eat and drink plenty of water. In the last 6 months I have lost 73 pounds and counting. I track my journey everywhere I can but the thing that has kept me the most accountable is having a YouTube channel. My YouTube channel is www.youtube.com/oconor316 and I post often to keep my supporters up to date. I often post exercises and as of now i am going to start posting more of my yoga videos. I may not be a success story yet but I am definitely a success story in the making :)
