I just can't believe how far I've come. I'm turning 30 on Thursday, and feel better than I did at 20. Thank you all for the support! I'm going to be triumphant in this battle because I AM WORTH IT! You can do it too, because YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Starting weight: 288 lbs
Current weight: 245 lbs

    I try to eat clean and stay within my calorie goal set by MFP which I believe I have everyday since I started in September except for 1 day. On MWF I lift weights and do cardio, and I try to do at least 20 mins of cardio everyday. It took about a month and a half of my MWF routine to make it stick and I now absolutely HAVE to or I feel that my day is imcomplete.

    There is no secret, it's more of mastering the mindset of, YES I CAN DO THIS!
