220-225 down to 180, Work in Progress :-)

I've never posted before, so bare with me if nothing works properly lol When i turned 25 at the begining of January, I decided that i was sick of being a size 18-20. . . so one of my bday gifts was Jillian Michaels 30DS.. so on Jan 10th, I started. About DIED after the 20 minutes, i BARELY made it through. But I keep pressing on. . . . I stuck with it and glad I did, bc I've gone from a size 18-20 pants 1-2xl shirt down to an 8-10 and size Medium shirt!I still have about 30 left to go. I came across pictures from Christmas and my bday and couldnt believe how far i've come so far! When you see urself everyday, sometimes you dont notice how AWESOME you REALLY look :happy: . . . I went from barely able to finish 30DS to. . . 30DS, RI30, AbRipperX, Ab Jam and gym (on lunch break) 5 days a week, and RUNNING at the gym.. RUNNING! Never thought i would EVER day that.... I have an absession, NO, it's an addiction and a lifestyle change that is TOTALLY Worth it!!!!!! Don't give up, NO EXCUSES! All you moms, and single moms (like myself) It's time to do something for YOU! Gotta take care of ME before I can take care of WE! :bigsmile: I hope to be at my goal by the end of summer at the VERY latest.. . . seeing these pictures make me feel soo much better about what I have done, with recently hitting a plateau. Keep up the work because one day you will wake up and realize how far you REALLY HAVE COME, like I did :flowerforyou: Thank You MFPs for ALL your inspiration and motivation, it really had been a HUGE help and will continue to be
