Hey y'all! My name is Mindy and I started my myfitnesspal journey about 11 months ago!! It has been an AMAZING almost year for me! About a year and a half ago my doctor found a tumor in my spinal cord and I had to have a very serious spinal surgery to have it removed! That was both the worst thing and the best thing that has ever happened to me! It was scary because I have 3 little kids and I was scared I wasn't going to get to watch them grow up, but it was also an eye opening few months because it made me appreciate life so much more and when I came through surgery and my tumor was not cancer I decided I was going to get my health back! As soon as I could walk without a walker I started walking and using myfitnesspal! I later found the program turbo fire and started using beachbodys shakeology and the weight started to seriously melt off of me! I lost about 65 pounds in 6 months with that program! Now I am still doing shakeology and I am currently doing the slim in 6 program! I have lost a total of 96 pounds in 11 months and am now coaching people for beachbody! If anyone would have told me a year ago that I would be giving people health and wellness advice I would have laughed at them but I have come so far! I am still on my journey! I have come to realize over the last year that weight loss and being healthy is a life style change and something you keep up with your whole life! I plan on doing this the rest of my life and I am so excited and happy to be sharing my story and helping people get started with their journeys! Such an amazing and rewarding job! If you are feeling discouraged...just keep at it! It will come off! One step at a time!

    Congratulations! You are doing great.. I had the same problem you had...but not in my spine. But then I injured my back on top of all my problems..
    I have been walking for 3 weeks now without the walker. My muscles are so weak...and I can't do any exercise yet.
    Just the housework gets me tired out by early afternoon. I have a lot of weight to lose.

    Best of luck to you... You look fabulous now.

    Your worries about your kids are all behind you now..How wonderful..

    I am so touched by everyone writing to me on here! Seriously, thank you all from the bottom of my heart! I had not even thought about posting about my success here and my hubby pushed me to do it! I really hope that it encourages someone! Lorrie22 -you made me cry! I don't know your story but any recovery like that is so incredibly hard! Mine took about months and to this day I don't have full feeling in my right leg BUT with that said if I can do this I know you can too! Last year I NEVER thought I could get my weight off! I was 240 pounds on a 5' 3" body and was walking with a walker! Things looked impossible! Your mind will always give up before your body! Please feel free to send me a friend request! I would love to help push encourage you on your journey! :) LizzybethTDI- if you send me a friend request i can send you a message with my website and tell you more about the shakes if you are interested :)
