    VERY well done! You made me want to stand up and cheer!! :happy:
    I'm going to say to myself next time I'm tempted with cake and ice cream that it will only lead to broken dreams and regret. Thanks for the motivation.
    ps - my parents also bought a nordic track in the 90's! :laugh:

    I want to thank everyone who read my story and took the time to comment! My presentation was a great experience, very cathartic. I hope to do a follow up post once I hit my goal! - Marla

    Well said and well done!

    Love the parts about allowing your goals and motivations to evolve. It's essential to be flexible mentally because healthy weight loss takes time. Finding joy in putting the effort into yourself and finding the determination to follow through when life gets hard are the hardest parts, but once you find them they are hard to lose.

    Thank you for sharing publicly!
