just the beginning of my success story!

Being overweight has always been an issue in my life, it started when i was young and just continued on throughout my life. Although i always wanted to be thinner and healthier i would try everything from diet pills, special diets, and exercising but i never would commit and stick to anything, i joined gyms but never continued to go, sure i would drop the pounds, but as soon as i stopped they would just be added back on, to be honest im not completely sure what made me finally decide to actually stick to it this time. i think i was just fed up and tired of all the stares and side comments from people, but most of all not being happy with myself. i have changed alot about my lifestyle, from the foods i eat to my exercise habits. i began eating cleaner foods, cutting out the junk, and started to exercise a few days a week, which eventually turned into at least 5 days a week. Alot of my motivation comes just from looking in the mirror and seeing the huge changes i have already made, but alot of it has come from all the support i have had through this new journey of mine, between my family, friends (old and new) and the advise and help from people who have walked in my shoes, and know what they are talking about. i have lost 92 pounds in about a year in a half, and i feel fantastic i have never been more proud of myself than i am now. i've always had a goal to lose weight and now its even bigger. through this journey of mine though my goals have often changed, from a few pounds here to a few pounds there, and now they are to help others and motivate them to change their lives to a healthier way, i have recently become an indoor cycling instructor and plan to futher my knowledge in fitness.....
