    You. Are. Amazing.

    Starting exercising with a cane? Facing possible paralysis and maybe even having another disc herniate?

    The way you faced what had to be a frightening situation, and kept at it -- this didn't just require a physical transformation, you transformed your life, and it sounds (and looks) like you are a stronger person for it.

    Way to go.

    Before, this was 270-something lbs. The second shot is from today at the gym. 174.8!!

    I'm 5'8". I'm 31 years old and Mom of three kids, ages 6, 3, and 1.

    Current routine: I run 6-7 days/week, and lift weights 2-3x/week. Eat less crap, drink more water.

    Current goal: 145-160lbs, resting at whichever number I feel strong, faster, and healthy. To be determined when I get there. :-)

    EDITED:
    I've gotten like 10 messages asking how I did it or how I got started. Here you go...

    Let's see. A year ago this week I had a debilitating spinal cord injury due to a herniated disc. I had emergency surgery and was in a rehab hospital for almost a month because I was paralyzed from the waist down. It's a miracle I regained sensation as much as I have. The neurosurgeon said the best way to prevent this from happening again is to lose weight and strengthen my core. So I took him VERY seriously.

    The first day I walked a quarter mile around my neighborhood, with a CANE! I just kept at it, every single day. Walking longer, farther, faster, adding in jogging after a few months, then walking with running, and now full on running.

    The key for me has been consistency.

    Your story brings tears to my eyes, that is the definition of tenacity. Congratulations on all of your success!!!!

    All that hard work finally paying off. . .and now the hard work of maintaining it. Your body is in a different chemical state and you are doing the right things to keep it balanced. Good job!
