This woman is my inspiration.

In January 2010, my mom suffered a heart attack. It was the scariest moment of my life, but thank goodness she pulled through. After a triple bypass and months of recovery, she decided that she (and the rest of our family) needed a change, and fast.

Summer 2009 vs November 2012 over 90 lbs lost!! Now heart healthy :]

    Your mom looks AMAZING! Congratulations :)

    I've stated this before, but my motivation was my very heavy co-worker who walks with a cane. Sounds weird, but when I started having pain in my knees she was the first thing I thought of and decided I was not going to end up like that.
