Made a goal and I'm sticking with it! With pics

OliveDouglas

Hi Everyone!

I haven't made a ton of progress yet, but I really wanted to share my story with you. I'm a very positive person, but I've definitely had my ups and downs in life. I've always had a weight issue and tried everything possible to try and lose weight. The scale would go down then go up and double all the time. I worked out regularly and dieted like crazy. My fiance (boyfriend at the time) was really big into wrestling and training and so were his friends. They event tried to help a little with barely any success. Well, I think we eventually found the problem. Back in June I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My world came crashing down, but I wouldn't let it defeat me. I sought out the best doctors and had my thyroid completely removed along with the cancerous lymph nodes. I went through all my radioactive treatments and became cancer free in September! I found out the day before my 28th birthday. Life got crazy because I started a new job in the process of dealing with all of this and I Thanksgiving weekend, my boyfriend proposed! I vowed to myself that I wanted to lose the weight and the biggest motivation is that wedding dress.

We all have bumps in the road and no matter what through hard work and dedication we can accomplish anything. Here's my mini success story. Enjoy the pics! (Hopefully they uploaded correctly)
