    I'm only at the beginning, but I'm heading in the right direction. And stories like yours motivate me.

    But what REALLY motivates me? My son. He is 1, and his Mommy and Daddy are VASTLY overweight and VASTLY low in energy for keeping up with a toddler. I want him to have active, healthy, engaging parents. So, we're on the path to that goal.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Good luck to you! Keep heading in the right direction!!

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

    I really liked that you mentioned your insecurities about exercise... I think so many people fail at this part because they go straight from being on the couch to working out for an hour, doing exercises that their bodies are not used to. If walking to the end of the driveway and back is more than you were doing last week, then it's progress and something to be proud of! Fitness is a "long game", and progress is "exactly where you are, plus a tiny bit".

    Hats off to you!

    Congratulations! What an amazing transformation.
    Are you officiating a wedding in that first pic? That is really cool.
    I've found that for me, my food issues aren't just mental and physical, they're spiritual too. Was the same true for you? How has this life change affected your faith?
