Here it goes... I started this journey a year ago on January 3, 2012 and have lost 88 pounds. I used to think it was impossible to lose so much weight naturally but I was wrong. Everything is possible with motivation and determination.

I had tried to lose weight off and on for 12 years. Everytime I tried I would fail, but this time was different. I started by changing my eating habits little by little and then I began exercising. I started to see the pounds come off and that gave me the motivation to keep going. It wasn't easy to eat healthy or to exercise especially when you have a full time job and have 3 kids at home. I had to make the time to exercise and replace the junk food with healthy food. As time went on it became normal. It's a lifestyle change. Not only am I eating healthier but my husband and my kids are eating healthier too. Here are some pics.
