13 Months In and How My Life Has Changed

This is one of the best threads I have read on here since I started, you are so inspiring and you look absolutely wonderful, you should be so proud of yourself, I know I am! Congratulations on getting your life back and sorry for your loss!

What a great story!

PS - Thanks for the trademark after/capitalization of Spinning! I know you're a Certified Spinning Instructor, so I'm not surprised, but it's a weird pet peeve of mine when people don't capitalize it. All Spinning is indoor cycling, but not all indoor cycling is Spinning My sister and I tried Spinning out together and both fell in love with it in late 2011, and she's since become a Certified Spinning Instructor. I would have joined her but am pregnant and due to issues have had to stop Spinning :frown: However when I get back on my game I intend to become certified and hopefully start teaching!

ETA that if you are ever in our neck of the woods (Charleston, South Carolina), you should come check out where I Spin - it's an exclusive Spinning studio, owned by MI Luciana Marcial-Vincion (who's awesome). It's called Charleston RIDE www.charlestonride.com. You'd love it!

Thanks for sharing your wonderful story. Your transformation is amazing!

Your post is so inspirational; thank you for sharing. You must be on cloud 9. Life has truly changed for you. I can't imagine the heartache of losing a spouse. I'm so glad you have decided to go on living a full life - she would be so proud of you!

AMAZING!!!!!

Congratulations on everything. You don't realize how big of an inspiration you are for people who've yet to loose so much weight. Isn't it odd how we start out with one career, and during something like weight loss or an accident,etc you completely change what you thought you wanted to do with your life?

This is one of the best success stories I have ever read. I am so happy for you! Congratulations on renovating your existance. You are an inspiration and also- a damn good writer . Thanks!

Hell to the yes. Great work and congrats on your results. Certainly understand how the depression after loosing your wife can add to the difficulties and so inspiring to hear from those, like yourself, who have turned things back around and crossed over into a much more positive space.

Congrats! You look great! I think it's so cool that you are now teaching spinning classes. Very inspiring.

And you could DEFINITELY write that book!!

Wonderful post! Congratulations on a job well done, you look wonderful and so
very proud of you and what you have done. You're an inspiration to the rest of us.

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said.....so take this ^5 (high five) from me!! WELL DONE!!

Your story gives me hope that I can complete my journey too. Write the book because I want to read it.

What a wonderful story. You've come such a long way and you're clearly on your way to more success and adventure. Congratulations on a job very well done!

Very inspiring story. You have accomplished so much and that is fantastic!!! Your quote at the end is spot on! I
