in Success Stories
I started in April 2012. After taking my son to ride the train at our local outdoor mall, Long story short I was not able to fit inside the cart. I had reached my highest weight 296lbs. I knew that I needed to do something. I started walking. The first day I walked, i was only able to make it to the front of my apartment complex. The pain in my back and on my knees was intense. I cried. I went out again the next day, the day after that, and then the day after that. My husband and my children would often join me. After a month, I stumbled upon Myfitnesspal. I logged on and then did not return for two weeks. I had two friends, Missymommyof3 and 78brownie. They are still on my friendliest today. Everyday was a battle. Was I eating right? Was I eating enough. I continued to log on. With every friend I made I learned more. I went from barely being able to walk and now I am running. I am not at my goal, but I know I will be there one day. The photos on the left are before those on the right, after. I have lost over 50lbs.

    Amazing progress! It's not just how we appear on the outside, but also how we feel on the inside after becoming more active that give us the drive we need to push ourselves further. That's how I've felt anyways.

    You look great and I'm sure you are feeling better too! :smile:

    You Look awesome, as well as younger than you do on the left. Thats so true, with each friend added you learn so much more. It opens up possibilites to new exercises and new healthy foods to try. Not to mention all the motivation and support you get. Because, what one mfp wont do or say, another one will! Keep up the good work Hun-tee <3
