I found the first picture on an old fb account of mine, and it literally made me want to cry. It reminded me of what I allowed depression to do to me. The second picture I am 5 lbs lighter then I was my original weight, before I started gaining weight. I literally had went from 199.5 to 230 lbs in a year time. Not only that, but I had lost myself completely due to the circumstances that stemmed that depressed stance. In November 2012, I lost my dad and I decided this time instead of letting that depression take my life away from me again, I was going to use my emotions to fuel me to push harder toward my goal. It's our choice which direction we let it take us. It's our mind, our body and our emotions. We can do this. I know, I for one, am not going back.

    You have a great attitude and mind-set. That's where it all starts. It's easy to let depression control your life, I think a lot of us have been through that before. Sometimes seeing a picture of the "old you" can be the fuel for the fire you've been looking for. I wish you all the best in your journey. Don't forget to update us with before and after photos when you get there!

    I'm right there with you! Taking it one day at a time! Slowly but surely I am seeing progress! I'm much better off than I was 2 months ago and I want to keep that trend going! I'm not looking back either, instead I'm looking forward and getting excited to see what changes I'll have another month from now!

    That's the way to do it :) There may be times where we slip or stumble, but the important thing is to keep moving forward, we'll only get stronger because of it :) Good luck on your journey of health :)

    That's great! I've been dying to try Turbofire, but I don't have the money for it at the moment. Definitely let me know how it goes for you!
