in Success Stories
So, I started off as your standard "Been fat my whole life, tried every diet and failed" kind of gal. In January 2013 I made a commitment to myself, my children, and my husband (billylosesit) to stop being "that" girl and here we are, half way through the year, 65lbs down, and still rockin' it! My starting weight was 250lbs and as of this morning I weigh 185lbs. I still have around 40lbs to lose, but I am more than half way there =)

Everyone always asks "what's your secret? How did you do it?" Simply put, there is no secret. Eating right and exercising have made a world of difference! My only secret was getting my butt off the couch and doing it! It's so hard taking that first step, but once you do, keep going! Run with it, and never stop!

I hope to inspire others, provide some motivation for those in need. If this girl can do it, so can you! Feel free to add me. I am on every day and try to encourage all of my friends along their journey =)

    My wife and I are doing it together too, it makes all the difference when you are supported and are able to support in return. We are both looking and feeling great at the moment. I'll never forgive myself for getting lazy, that was my sole problem. Now I'm active, getting thinner and getting fitter. Never felt better! Good luck with rest of your journey.

    This is the first time I've posted and maybe the last I lurk without posting but I have just dropped in to say
    "YOU LOOK AMAZING, NO longer that "Fat gal" (your words not mine) You are an inspiration to us all.
    Well done luv, AMAZED

    Can I ask what exercise have you been doing and how often?
    I am limited as to what exercise I can do because I've recently had an operation resulting in complications afterwards.
    I intend to start swimming very soon and see how that goes. I cycle a little and walk the dog but have a very active job, alas after work I hurt like hell due to operation.

    You are beautiful and congrats on your success, it's awesome that you have a partner at home to travel with you on this journey. You gave me the motivation to not give up because 6 months looks good on you I can't wait to see your end results.

    Congratulations and you look great. Thanks for sharing. And it is refreshing to hear someone say that there are no secrets, just hard work. And congrats to your husband too. It looks like he also had a very substantial weight loss. It is great that you guys can do this together.
