My weight loss journey from 325lbs

Options
Hello everyone my name is Michele and Im on a journey to lose over 100 lbs without any pills, surgery or crazy diet. I made videos every week to share with all my friends. I began this Journey on april 22 2012 when I stepped on the scale and it read 327lbs. I was in such shock, how did i let myself get THAT BIG? I then started to do a juice fast and did that for 3 days. then I just began to eat healthy. As of today I am down to 286. All I do is count my calories and do lots of walking every day. If you would like to follow my weight loss please send me a friends request. I love to share my journey and meet new people along the way that are in the same boat as me. i look forward to recieving friends requests from all of you..

    That's wonderful! I am also aiming to lose 100+ lbs. I used to try to take shortcuts that would end up with fast results, but after a couple of failed attempts with diet pills, I just all the sudden got frustrated with wasn't having it anymore. I had to mentally prepare myself for what would come and ever since then, I've been one determined puppy. I've lost a total of 7 lbs, but started the calorie counting a bit later. Keep up the great work. I find reading stories like yours to being such a motivation to me, as I am sure it is to everyone as well. :)
