Slide1.jpg

To celebrate this HUGE milestone I wanted to post my 2 years worth of changes. This has been an AMAZING journey and one that has been worth all of the hard work. Like most people who have been overweight most of their lives, I have been on every diet plan out there. I have lost weight time and again, just to gain it back plus more. Each time I lost weight I would feel like I was just waiting for it to come back on. I never felt in control of my weight. For the first time in my life I can say with confidence that this weight will NEVER come back!!!! Not only do I feel in complete control of my food habits but I actually enjoy eating healthy...I know, hard to believe. It took me a long time to get to this point but I did it. I am also completely in love with exercise and weight lifting. I started this journey with the goal of becoming a "normal" size or weighing a certain amount but all of that has changed. Strength and endurance is now my main goal. Thankfully weight loss comes with that but that is just an added bonus :bigsmile:

I am very excited about what the future holds! I can't wait for the races I will be doing in 2013 (Princess Half Marathon, Camp Pendelton Mud Run, and the Spartan 5k) and the sense of accomplishment I will gain from completing them. I have also discovered that I have become a motivation and an inspiration to numerous friends and family and that is something I love to do. If anyone is seeking any tips, encouragement or help with their diet and exercise plans I would love to help!!

    Thanks everyone! I'm so excited to get the real work started. Now that most of my excess weight is gone I can start seeing the muscles I've worked so hard on, and work on making them bigger :)

    I can NOT believe you're in the 190's! You don't look anything close to that. Amazing job and what an inspiration you are for losing so much! Keep up all of your hard work, it's paying off!
