I've lost 25lbs and counting... here's my why!

Options
I went from a size 18 to a size 12 ... and I am NOT stopping yet!

My WHY: I was so unhappy with myself. I was hateful. I would take my frustration out on other people. My father passed away of a heart attack unexpectedly on Christmas of 2005. The lifestyle I was leading for the last 7 years was heading down the same path. I was a good candidate for developing medical problems in my 20s. I didn't want to gain a bunch of weight while already being considered obese during a pregnancy or not being able to get pregnant because of my weight!

Now?: I feel SO much better about the lifestyle I lead. I am so much happier. I'm working on ending my trend to obesity. Now it's time for me to pay it forward...

I'm here to help... you're not alone! What's your WHY?

Here is my success story... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftb950tz1qw&feature=plcp

You can't put a price on your HEALTH! :happy:
