140lbs Down and Still Going

stacydille · January 2014

My name is Stacy, and when I started this journey in February of 2013 I weighed in at 350lbs. I have been heavy my entire life, and I tried/failed every diet you can think of. I had made myself into a recluse really only leaving the house to go to work, because I was embarrassed by how big I was. One day I was scrolling through Facebook seeing all my friends posts about getting married and/or having kids, and I started to lament about the lonely existence I was living, holed up in my house away from people. I thought to myself, I am going to be lonely forever, because I will never meet anyone staying locked up in my room. I had seen a couple of my friends has been doing TurboFire from Team Beachbody, and they had experienced a lot of success. I decided I would order it, but I hadn't put too much stock in a actually working, because nothing ever did. The day TurboFire arrived is the day my life changed forever. I have been exercising five to six days a week ever since. I also track all of my calories consumed using the MyFitnessPal app, and track my calories burned with my FitBit Flex. The apps communicate back and forth with each other, and make losing weight a snap. Of course you are going to have to put in some work.

As of today, I have lost 140lbs, and plan to continue this lifestyle for good. My purpose for this post is to let people who are struggling know that if I can do it anyone can. There are days I struggle, but I always look back at where I came from, and how much work I have put into this. I know that I never want to go back to that person. Now I hope with some new found self confidence I will one day meet someone to be with forever.

If you want to add me as a friend on here I would love to meet more people like myself. I firmly believe you can never have enough people supporting you.~~~~Stacy

Congratulations!! Thank you for sharing!

I was just surfing around looking for something to try as a workout at home. I am beginning at sedentary and feel so large and cumbersome. By saying the day your program arrived your life changed, I figure I might actually be able to DO the moves.

It is wonderful that you helped yourself come out of your sadness. Not many people can do that.

Best wishes to you on your journey
