From 284-189 in 6 months & still going!!!!!

Sredster · January 2016

I have been battling weight issues for over 10 years. I've made every excuse in the damn book to get out of exercising. In July of 2015 I turned 25 and I was just tired of never being able to do things with my husband. We moved from Germany to Washington state last year and all I wanted to be able to do was go hiking. I wanted to explore the beautiful pacific north west but I couldn't be on my feet for more than 30 minutes without being in pain. My lower back and arches in my feet were always in pain. I finally stopped the excuses and started exercising. I started with 2 hours of swimming 3 times a week and lots of walks. Now I do 60 minutes of cardio 5 - 6 days a week with daily walks. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing I feel. I still have a little ways to go but I'm enjoying being able to hike and explore outdoors. My goal is to get to 160 and maintain from there. I still need some motivation so feel free to add me!

I'm great at motivating others!

Girl...that is EPIC! This is so damn inspiring as I'm starting my journey now with approximately 100 to lose. I'd love to have more motivating friends like you on my list!

I do Weigh in Wednesday's (#WIW) and NSV Sunday's on my status board to try and get encouragement, accountability and fun going among my pals here. Anyone else is free to add me too!
