Incredible work!! Thanks for sharing, it definitely helps since I have a similar amount to lose. I lost 50 and I've gained some back, sadly, so I need to reinvigorate myself to continue to get healthy and fit and this helps. Thanks!

Well done, you have inspired me.

Jeeez you look fantastic! I love reading transformations like yours because it helps keep me on track especially in this early stage of this lifestyle change. Sometimes I feel like it will take forever but then I remember it took me 6 years to put on the weight so why wouldn't I be kind enough to myself to invest the same amount of time to be healthy and happy again. No point in moaning and procrastinating - it's do or die!

so amazing and inspiring you look awesome

@trevandmel2015‌ You got it girl... It takes time and patience! Focus on those small goals, like being able to walk a little faster around the block. There are some pretty cool non scale victories that happen along the way as well...

Being able to keep up with my kids is pretty awesome!

I’ve decided to share my weight loss story in hopes that it will help someone who is struggling with their weight and trying to live a healthier lifestyle.

In the last 3 ½ years I have lost 125 lbs. Before starting my journey I was 270 pounds, almost type 2 diabetic, and I was morbidly obese. I was depressed and miserable in my own skin, self-soothing with food and candy. My weight and lifestyle were slowly killing me. I wanted to be healthy, I wanted to be happy again, and I wanted to be the wife and mother my family deserved. Those things combined gave me the final push I needed to change my lifestyle.

I didn’t follow a specific program or go through weight loss surgery. I swapped all my sugar loaded drinks for water, started tracking my food using myfitnesspal, and added exercise into my daily routine. I wanted to change my lifestyle so this would become a permanent way of life. I started with small, achievable goals so I didn’t get overwhelmed with how much weight I still had to lose. I have had amazing success with myfitnesspal! I love that you can share your diary with friends, encourage one another to make healthy choices, and it’s not a specific diet plan! If you choose you can look at all your nutritional value for the day, which has been extremely helpful for me.
I joined a local gym and I discovered a whole new passion for fitness. I reached out and found other ladies to work out with at the gym. We encourage each other, hold each other accountable, and have fun! When one of us struggles, we help each other. I started personal training and improved my strength, lost more weight, and melted away body fat. Myfitnesspal has helped me track my protein so I could build muscle, as well as my fiber so I can keep things moving I have been able to accomplish things I never thought possible, and I have learned to believe in myself! Please know that weight loss is a journey and it takes time. If I can do this, you can do this! I finally have my life back and I feel great! Thank you myfitnesspal for being part of my journey!

Way to go girl! Congrats on all your success! You look fabulous! I just lost 45lbs took me a year

went from a size 14 to a 6! Feels great to be healthy again.
