I was 310 pounds when I turned 30 and when I looked in the mirror I finally saw myself for the first time in years. My life has changed so much since that day. Please read my story and vote for me as the “Face of Fitness” it means the world to me to share my story & inspire others. You can vote once a day until Feb. 27th. Pass it on!

There is so much more to the story, like meeting my husband who had ALSO lost over 100 pounds before we even met! I am always open to adding new friends for mutual motivation and support during this life-long journey to be forever fit! You can see some of my pics too :)

Thank you soooooo much!

    Thank you all so much! I'm not sure if I'll catch up to the front runners- I'm certainly no personal trainer, marathon runner or fitness instructing body builder like most of those ladies but I think I do represent people who desperately need the "Face of Fitness" to be an everyday person who overcame serious weight struggles. After all, I began my journey be reading through goal stories and photos online from REAL people and finally believed that it was possible, I had HOPE. I thought it was impossible, I really did. I have never been so glad to be wrong :)

    Hi there,

    Congratulations and I wish you much luck, just wondering, are you a member on here with before and after photos, I would really love to see the difference.

    I'm a newbie on here and am looking for inspiration, I have lost 54.5 pounds prior to using mfp, am loving the program and hoping it will aid me to lose the rest, a lovely 110 lbs ;)

    Thank you

    Cyn

    Thank you! Yes, add me as a friend I have some before and after photos in my album :) They aren't me at my very worst becuase those are hard copies I'll have to scan but still very much "befores" so take a look!
