    I began my exercise SLOWLY. Like really really slowly. The first day, I walked around my block. 0.25 miles in 25 minutes, with a CANE. The next day I went a little father, the next day a little faster, just doing what I could, getting out there and moving and sweating every single day. After many months, I added in 30 second jogging spurts. Then I just tried to run more and walk less, gradually introducing faster speeds as my body could tolerate it. After a few months, I was able to jog for my whole workout.

    Currently during a typical week, I run 6-7 days/week and lift 2-3x/week. I've done five 5k races this spring and summer, and hope to train for longer distance events.

    The key to my success: Consistency. Just get out there and DO it. Watch your portions. Sweat every day. No excuses.

    :-)

    what a beautiful story. really touched my heart. Congratulations on gaining a big part of your life back and losing all that weight.:drinker: Here's to you.

    I just started this week (Monday to be exact) on MFP. Your story brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing your story. It truly inspires me to keep going. I can't wait for next year so I can post similar before and after pictures! Your arms are AMAZING! What exercises do you do? (reps, weights, etc.).....Congratulations on your weight loss. It is truly well deserved.
