in Success Stories
I really don't know where to start and still baffled when I hear, 'You are a success story!'

I started my journey a year and half ago-January 2011. It wasn't until March of that same year that I found this neat app on my phone-MFP and thought that would be great to tell me how many carbs I was having, that is all I wanted to see at the time. I was trying to do those 'low-carb' diets I always here about. I then found the wonderful website and met some awesome pally's that kept me motivated and supported, when I felt like I had noone. (Just moved to a new state, living with in-laws and felt like my world had turned upside down) I weighed the most I had ever weighed....and it finally hit me that I was worth exercising and eating right.
At first I started with tracking EVERYTHING that went into my mouth! and then added in wogging (walking/jogging) I could barely do 30mins at a time and that usually happened during my lunch break. I had tried to 'run' and workout before we moved, but was always tired and had the mind set I can eat whatever I want I worked out today.

I then signed up for my 2nd 5K and my first with the hubs! My first one was alot of walking and very very slow. but I had a great girlfriend that kept me going and encouraging!


Well anyways, I learned alot about myself, my body, my mind and did alot of research last year! I wanted to Honor God with the body He gave me! This momma wanted to be active and not always laying around.

    Guess I didn't finish with the rest of the boring journey...lol
    I did 30DS, the ripped in 30, didn't get much results from either of those.
    I hurt my neck in october and couldn't work out for 2 months but was still losing! In January 2012 I started Les Mills PUMP and that helped me get toned and lean out! I am now doing Insanity.
