edited January 20 in Success Stories
I started my journey May, 2012 at 276 pounds and I hit 175 on the scale yesterday. I walked for the first 7 months and watched my diet. I joined MFP in January, really started watching what I ate, and joined the YMCA. I started the C25K also in January and completed my first 5k 3/9/13 at 34:50. There are no magic potions for me, or fad diets, I just work out, and watch what I eat. I have become very fond of working out, and once I complete my first Sprint Triathlon on 4/14/13 I will focus hard on getting the last 25/30 pounds left with Insanity. I was a size 24 in this picture and in the below picture, it was taken 3/17/13 at a size 10. I am a few pounds lighter but not yet in an 8. I WILL get there and probably into a 6. If I can do it, so can you :) This is now my lifestyle. I don't want to be skinny, but fit and fabulous at 50 I will be. Good luck to all of you on your journey.
