in Success Stories
I just finished Insanity. This is a program I always felt only the elite could do. Only those who are already fit and healthy. Only everyone else but me. I learned a lot while doing Insanity and my whole outlook has changed. I now know that anyone who is determined and motivated can do Insanity. SHOOT *I* DID Insanity!!! I'm still in shock. I can't believe it. Seems like it isn't true but darn it I took pics daily so I know I did. LOL I can't wait to get that tshirt cause I will wear it proudly! I hope you don't mind me sharing some pictures of my progress.

I started really focusing on my health in Jan 2012. I finally had enough and decided that it was up to me to make the change. I was already a member of MFP and loved reading all of the success stories. They inspired and motivated me. I've been using at home programs for the last year because they are the only way I can fit a workout in with my busy life. I decided that I was going to stop being too busy to do something for myself. It's been difficult and I still struggle everyday but I lean on my groups to get through the tough times.

June 16 2013 - I bought a pair of size 10 shorts. The first shorts I've bought or worn in YEARS. My son's told me that they were shorty shorts and not to buy them. LOL I don't think either have ever seen me in shorts other then to work out in.
