Hello All,
I have yet to share my story with anyone but seeing as it all started with "MyFitnessPal" I figured this was a great place to finish what I've started!
Just over a year ago I started my journey to health and fitness, I was embarrassed of myself so I would run in the shadow of darkness. A few months later I had dropped ALOT of weight but was left with a flabby disaster, so now I'm a skinny fat person.
Well, I wouldn't be for long...
I then joined a gym and attempted to figure out what all these "machines & equipment" were all about...once again embarassed I decided that I wasn't going to let this stop me from achieving my goals. In steps Jon Cain, my personal trainer who over the past 9 months and shown me everything I need to know about the human body and how to keep myself toned and healthy.
To date I have lost 90lbs going from a size 22 to a size 4, yes size 4!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm toned, healthy and able to keep up...I mean outrun my 8 year old twins.
If I knew how to post pictures on here I would add a before and after!!!
