I am completely in shock that I am half way to my goal!! It has taken me 4.5 months to lose 35 pounds. I workout 3-4 times a week and try to eat the most heart healthy foods that I can. I always use to creep on the success boards and think to myself.. that'll never be me.. I could never do that.. but when the chest pains started ish got real!

I sometimes wish that I could go back in time and undo all the damage I've done to my body. It gets me down knowing that I've been poisoning myself for so long, but I have learned from my mistakes.

I have to keep telling my husband that I'm not doing this to look good.. I'm doing this to watch my kids graduate from college, to meet my grand-kids, and not to live in fear of having a heart attack.

    Way to go. :)

    Love seeing people come to the point where they are sick and tired of being sick and tired of complacency, and want better for themselves.

    You are another shining example of putting one foot forward each day.
