I started this journey on January 6th and so far it has worked out better than I had hoped. I was at 198 pounds and was at the point of having to buy all new pants because my current size wouldnt hardly button! Now, two months and 23 pounds lighter, my pants fit again. Well, not really, they are too big now!!! I need a smaller size. My back and my knees are telling me thank you! I now have more energy than I can even remember having. I honestly feel like I am back in my twenties again. I had no idea how bad I was treating my body.

Too bad I had to wait until I turned 40 to get in the best shape of my life!

Good luck everyone! If i can do this, anybody can!!

    awsome! great story!
  • Yeah it's amazing what some weight loss can do for your overall wellness. I was at 305 lbs back in January of '10 and to date have lost 74 lbs. Everything about me has changed and I'm so happy I did it. Now I'm training for my first half marathon in May. Can't wait!!! Good luck everybody.
