edited January 28 in Success Stories
This time a year ago I started my journey, I wanted to change, I had already lost about 28lbs (started at about 210, and was down to 182). I didn't really try to loose those though (long story) and was still eating poorly and knew that I would gain again if I didn't change.

So a friend of mine kicked my butt into gear and got me going to the gym and helped me learn how to eat healthy, then after she moved away I continued my journey, with at home work outs and running. I was soon able to loose 50 more pounds!

I recently found shakeology and plan to spend my next year with beachbody! I start insanity asylum tomorrow to kick off another great year :)

Girl in pink was my heaviest, middle was me a year ago, last was a couple days ago :)

    You are a inspiration! Can you give me some nutrition tips? And are your eating every 2 to 3 hours?

    Basically just upped my veggie in take and downed my processed food intake. I ate ALOT of crap, I would eat damn near 5000 calories some days! :( I found lower calories, less sugar options for things I "had" to have. No I don't eat that often. I basically eat three meals a day with small snacks in between if I am hungry.
