  • Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself and share my story!

    When I was pregnant, my husband and I would carpool. When I would pick him up, we would stop at McDonald's and both get 2 double cheeseburgers and a fry, and then right when we got home, we would eat dinner. Seriously! Who does that! I did that all through my pregnancy! I am so lucky to have had a healthy baby after the way I treated my body :(

    The day I came home from the hospital with my baby boy, I was 268lbs. I was shocked, disgusted, and I never thought I would ever, be comfortable in my own body again. When my son was 3 months old, I started working out at the gym, I wasn't really motivated, it hurt so bad, I remember not even being able to do 10 minutes on the elliptical. Well I pushed myself, I workout at the gym a lot and seeing my numbers drop was amazing, I remember being so excited when I hit 215 and then I hit 200 and never ever thought I would ever be in the weights where 1 was the first number of the 3. But then I hit a plateau and my weight would not budge. I felt no matter what I did, my body was not changing. My best friend wanted me to join a challenge group, doing Turbo Fire. I couldn't really afford it, but then I thought about how much my weight loss and health meant to me, so I went for it. I couldn't believe how quickly I started noticing results, it was amazing. I seriously felt like fat was just melting off my body. I got below 180 OMG! I hit, 170, 160, and guess what, I got to 153lbs! I haven't weight this much for over 12 years! I have been doing workouts and home, and I have even taken up running! I could never imagine running!!! I now weigh 148 and I am still working towards my goal everyday!

    I wish I knew how to post pictures on here so I could show :(

    OMG!!! I saw your pictures,,,,,, wow, no words can tell you how happy it makes me think that IT IS POSSIBLE for all of us reach our goals and not to give up... AS THE SAME WAY YOU DID.... awesome job girl!!! keep it up

    Awesome!!!!!
  • That is totally amazing!! You are a similar shape to me (when you were larger) and I dream of having arms like yours now. I always thought that wouldn't be possible no matter how much weight I lost. Thank you for showing me what a lot of hard work and determination can do! Well done.

    congratulations!! you look fabulous!
  • Thank you so much!
    My life has changed so much! By having so much more energy, love being outdoors and doing active stuff without getting winded or having to take a break cause I cannot keep up, and having a toddler that would be a big issue. I love going shopping now and dressing up. My confidence is greater than it ever has been, but it's not like I don't know where I came from, I worked hard to get there and I used to use every excuse in the book not to start, but I stopped doing that, and I went for it! :)
