in Health and Weight Loss
I, like many, have struggled with me weight most of my life. It really started when when my last child was born. I gained weight and never have been able to really lose it. I just kept putting a little more weight on all the time. My daughter is now 14 and I decided there really is no excuse why I am so fat!!
I decided to change my life. I started with a divorce and my life has changed all for the better since then.
I started going to the gym at the end of November and started on MFP in December and the rest is history. I am down 74 lbs and 4 pant sizes!! I look like a totally different person and I feel like a totally different person. My sons tell me all the time that I look great and tell their friend, Doesnt my mom look good?? lol

My originally weight was 325 lbs when I started. CRAZY!!!!!!
I am at 251 now, and can't believe the tranformation. Unfort. I can't figure out how to post pics!

I hope that I motivate someone with my weight loss. I am one of those people that would lose a little and give up because I didn't think that I was losing weight fast enough. I used every excuse in the book not to exercise and just didn't care anymore.
I did it so you can do it too!! I promise, if you put your mind to it and you work hard you can do it too.

Good luck on your weight loss journey. Mine is far from over but I am on my way to a better me....

    We have similar stories. Mine started in 2009...topped out at 258lbs, and that day I started walking and making smart choices. I left my husband, and we are still in the process of the divorce, but will be done before the fall. I fell away a bit last fall/winter, and went from 209 to 218, and then found this site in March/April of this year, and am down almost 21lbs. It's slow, but steady. But this time won't come back because I made this about healthy not skinny. For life, not till next week.

    WTG...Keep up the good work!!!

    That's great you lost so much. One way to show images would be to upload to Photobucket and post a link. I could not figure out how to do the images either.

    LOL that is so true friend!!! They are quite protective over their mama and now it's even worse.
    I feel even worse for my 14 year old daughter!!! LOL... Boys know who her brothers are and won't mess with her..
