in Success Stories
For too long I watched other people succeed.
I felt like having a child young, and moving back home from college RUINED my chance to ever be ME again.
I never was a slim girl.
Always had to work hard to get what I wanted.
Never was quite physical.

But I wasn't achieving anything being overweight.
I dove deeper and deeper into depression.
Kept shaving years off my life.
I was dying at 21 years OLD!!!!

So I got up and said ENOUGH!

My starting weight of 274 in April of this year.
Is now 224!!!!!

I'm only half way to my goal of 100 lbs.
But I can't hesitate to celebrate.

I sometimes hate having to put in hours of working out for the scale to see a change.
But gaining my life and confidence back is worth all the pain, and I can't wait to drop the next 50!!!

Here's to changing our lives MYFITNESSPALS

ONE POUND AT A TIME!!!

    Girl, you look amazing. I know how hard it is to want to keep working out, I think we all do. But to get to where we are going we have to keep working toward what we want. I know you feel fabulous.
    Trust me after the Holidays I feel as if I gained weight, so now it is time to take it off & then some!! Keep up the good work & keep logging. Add me as a friend if you wish. :smile:
