My New Life....92lb down pics

misslegz · October 2012

My lifestyle changed almost one year ago on October 25, 2011. I had no serious healthy conditions...no high blood pressure and from most aspects I was pretty healthy except for weighing 255 lbs and being a size 24. Granted, my ankles really did hurt me a lot and I was not able to sit on them or stay crouched down on them very long. If I did it was so painful to get up. It started as me being a supportive daughter and walking on the treadmill as a support system for my parents who started to do this also. I only set my goal as 25 lbs since I never thought in a million years I could that. After the first week of walking for 25 minutes on it and starting to watch what I ate a little closer I had lost 6 lbs. I was so excited that I thought...I can do this. well by Decemeber 18 I had reached 24 lbs lost and thought.....no way I am stopping now. I increased my goal to 60 lbs and my May 20th I reached that goal. I will never forget the day I say 199 on the scale. I hadn't weighed in the 100's since I got married in 1997. Loving how I was looking for the first time in a long time I upped my goal to another 20 lbs and as of Friday, July 13th I am at 74lbs down and finally weighing less than what my driver's license (that I have lied and always put 190lbs on).

Now I do a wide range of exercises...walking...running....light boxing...lifting weights....jump roping....bicycling....and a little basketball!! If it keeps me moving I am so going to do it!!

I have worked my way into a size 14 and have never been this happy!!! Life is damn good!!!

Never give up hope. If I can do this then anyone out there can do this. It won't be easy but I promise you can do it!!

Before....255lbs

Here's what I would like to say as someone who has gotten to know you only a month ago yet your journey started long before....you are amazing, you are an inspiration...you made a decision to change your lifestyle and you did it - you made a plan and you saw it through! You did NOT rely on a diet pill, on a fad, on a miracle cure - you devoted yourself to healthy eating and dedicated exercise....

I not only admire you but I respect you for making the decision that things needed to change, setting a goal and making the changes necessary to achieve them.

I know you are a mother and a wife and I say - you are a fortunate bunch to have this amazing, wonderful, positive, exciting woman guiding your lives....I know I am the richer for meeting you and you will forever be a friend, inspiration and a role model.

Congrats, Jamie! LOVE YOU!!!
