I have been on this journey since March 1, 2012 and I have made so much progress! I am proud of myself but am sad it took me so long to get in gear. It took me turning 40 to realize I need to take care of my body and self as much as I can in order to try and live longer than my parents did and so I could be here for my kids who are 2 and 4 years old.

This is me and my progress so far. Far right picture was taken on 2/24/12, a few days before I began my lifestyle change and the second from right is from July 2011 the far left is from 5/11/12 and the second from left is from 5/14/12. It is exciting to see where I was and where I currently am and I can't wait to see how I look in another 3 months!

Hope your journey is as exciting as mine,

Cynthia

    That's awesome progress in such a short time. Great job and keep up the hard work. It is totally paying off :-)
  • Congrats! You look awesome. I hope to get the same results. So far down 6 pounds this month. Still working out the kinks. My main thing is I need to learn to like the good food and stay away from the junk food.

    You look great! You motivate me. I'm 38yrs old and 40 is just around the corner. I'm trying to lose all the weight I can by the time I hit 40 since you know what they say, everything slows down when you hit 40. Not really sure about that but just in case...

    Thanks everyone! I feel like a new person and I look at myself and don't recognize the person in the mirror. I am excited in my choice and how it is affecting my family for the better.

    You are looking fabulous so great your hard work is showing watch out now!!! I am almost 40 myself and the one thing I recall my mother saying is that once you hit 40 weight is so much harder to get off and for the first time in my life I see what she means I have never been this heavy in my life and its a battle to get it off but my life is worth this battle and I am in for the fight for my life!!!!!!! you are going to make it all the way keep it up!!!!!!!
