    I enjoyed reading your story. I can see that you took control of the one thing that you can always control...your attitude about you! :flowerforyou: You will reach your goal because you can see the change in your smile and eyes!!! I look forward to seeing your progress and changes to come over the months.

    Back pain is the worst. I struggle with it daily as well, from a car accident. Some days, I don't want to do it (workout) but if I don't then I beat myself up; so I get up and I do it. I always feel SO much better knowing that I invested in my body before anything else in the day.

    Being outside was something that I hated! I hated being around people when I would walk or work on losing weight. Now I embrace it and I say, "Yup, I got this and I know I look good on the eyes!" Something that is very new for me; as I have not been one to seek any attention from anyone. But now a days, i find that I am always wanting to be outside, enjoying and breathing the fresh air, working out, running, biking, and my favorite thing at the moment is to work in our very big family garden!!!

    One of the things that I have found in making a life style change is that it gives us such a new outlook on life and usually one that is positive and one that we had forgotten or never known.

    Thank you for sharing your story and I wish you great success to come and always remember why you started this journey and keep it alive in all the years you have left on this planet :flowerforyou:

    You are such an inspiration. I am going to take some pics today to show my before and after. I really didn't want to, but after seeing the difference in yours, I want to see that difference in me too. Congratulations on your journey. I can't wait to see pics from the 5k!!!

    I hate that 'Before' look so much. It didn't look like me, I had changed so much with the added weight. I was really reluctant to show it to anyone. I'm glad that I did now. It helps me to see that I am coming back to what I was before. ave helped me too. I know I'm not alone in this fight. There are plenty of people with struggles like mine and even more! I hope everyone can find what they need to do, to help themselves achieve their goals. It is easier than I thought it would be, once I set my mind to it! :flowerforyou:

    From June the 4th, till August the 23rd, my double chin went away. I hope that wherever it went, it never finds it's way back. I WON'T be leaving a light on!

    Wow, Steffie, thanks for all the inspiration - and a good laugh, above! I'm 56, so I find your story really, really, really encouraging! You look fabulous, even with "messy" hair.

    What a comeback! You're the greatest!

    Thank you for sharing..

    You look great. These young girls don't understand that your body changes when you hit 50. It's hard to loose weight after 50, but it's not impossible. You are proof of that. Looking good:) By the way those are killer pants. Wow!
