From 268 to 148.. still cannot believe it!

Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself and share my story!
When I was pregnant, my husband and I would carpool. When I would pick him up, we would stop at McDonald's and both get 2 double cheeseburgers and a fry, and then right when we got home, we would eat dinner. Seriously! Who does that! I did that all through my pregnancy! I am so lucky to have had a healthy baby after the way I treated my body
The day I came home from the hospital with my baby boy, I was 268lbs. I was shocked, disgusted, and I never thought I would ever, be comfortable in my own body again. When my son was 3 months old, I started working out at the gym, I wasn't really motivated, it hurt so bad, I remember not even being able to do 10 minutes on the elliptical. Well I pushed myself, I workout at the gym a lot and seeing my numbers drop was amazing, I remember being so excited when I hit 215 and then I hit 200 and never ever thought I would ever be in the weights where 1 was the first number of the 3. But then I hit a plateau and my weight would not budge. I felt no matter what I did, my body was not changing. My best friend wanted me to join a challenge group, doing Turbo Fire. I couldn't really afford it, but then I thought about how much my weight loss and health meant to me, so I went for it. I couldn't believe how quickly I started noticing results, it was amazing. I seriously felt like fat was just melting off my body. I got below 180 OMG! I hit, 170, 160, and guess what, I got to 153lbs! I haven't weight this much for over 12 years! I have been doing workouts and home, and I have even taken up running! I could never imagine running!!! I now weigh 148 and I am still working towards my goal everyday!
I wish I knew how to post pictures on here so I could show

That is awesome! I started at 263, so that's inspirational for me. I would love to see the pictures.
To post them, you have to add them to a photo website, so that the image has a url. Then you use the following code to post it here. (replace the letters url.jpg with the actual web address of the photo and remove the space before the last bracket)0 -

Wow, you really motivate me. I'm stuck in a plateau and it's freaking me out! Tomorrow I'll try something different so I can get my weight loss moving. You are a great example and I wish more people would do what you did. I used to be a Trauma ICU nurse but after years of moving heavy patients I suffered an injury and had to come away from the bedside into an administrative position. I see good RNs moving on because the patients are getting heavier and heavier which means they are sicker. RNs are suffering injuries daily. it's a shame. I salute your progress!!! Thank you for sharing!0
