This might sound silly to a lot of you but to me its a great accomplishment! I was a dance and cheer coach for 25 years and during that time I was really limber, could still do a lot of gymnastics and dance my but off for hours! IN the last few years I've had multiple medical problems which led to a large weight gain and absolutely no physical activity. I started here on January 2nd, but I prev lost close to 10 pounds before I started here. I really stepped up my workouts in the last 8 weeks. yesterday after I worked out for an hour, I was doing my stretches and i bent over to touch my toes and i actually put my hands flat on the floor without bending my knees!!!!!!!

I know, silly, but I truly believed I would never be able to do that again! What an awsome feeling that was!!!! So to all you past cheerleaders and dancers out there, keep plugging away!!! The lifestyle change we are making is REALLY working!!!!!

    That is not silly in the least. I completely know how you feel. I was a cheerleader all through junior high & high school...captain my senior yr. I took gymnastics for 8 yrs, used to could literally put my feet behind my head. I have always managed to stay pretty limber through my weight gain, but the touching the floor, I am on my way too!!! BIG CONGRATS doll!!!
