Hello all! Long time reader, first time poster (can't be a vampire forever... well, actually you can... but you know what I mean!!). Here goes...
I started the Insanity workout to keep me sane over a breakup... well it's working and I'm getting a new body out of it! I hadn't worked out for about 4 years... Mind you I had already lost 115lbs about 8 years ago. Slowly but surely the weight crept back on at about 10lbs a year. Anyway, this time I started at 210 and am currently at 172 with an ultimate goal of 144 (I'm 5'7") ... it's kinda random. But, I figured I'll be 44 next year and I've never been at that weight in my adult life, so why not?
I have come to look at it like this, if I move tiny pebbles every day, one day I'll look up and see I've moved a mountain! Hope this helps to motivate some of you as much as your pics have motivated me on days I didn't wanna move no d@mn rocks! LOL!! Thank you! Stay motivated, MFP fam!!!
The pic thing is NOT working for me... tried everything. So just go here:

You loo amazing! Congrats on such great results. Thanks also for the inspirational words. Was feeling discouraged just now at what seems like such slow progress, but if I think of how many pebbles I've already moved, I feel much more hopeful.0
