SUCCESS AND STILL GOING (62.8 LBS GONE;with pics)

Options
Hey everyone!

My journey began on January 13th, 2013 and I offically reached my first BIG goal: being under 250; but before I get too far ahead of myself I will share some history with ya's.

I was raised in a foster home since the age of 2, I never saw my dad and I hardly ever saw my mom; I also lost my brother in a car accident around that time. I was bullied a lot in elementary, middle and high school, I became severly depressed and became an emotional eater. I would come home and just eat my feelings; I played sports (rugby, baseball and basketball) but since teammates bullied me I usually ended up quitting even though I enjoyed them! When I graduated high school a little over a year ago I hated how I looked in my prom dress and my grad gown; and I knew it was time for a change. I moved away to college and immediately started exercising and eating healthier but in November I sprained my ACL and was layed off for a few months. I didn't even keep up the healthy eating and gained all the weight back and then some! I hated it and in January when I was approved to start exercising again I took it slow and started eating healthy and as I kept losing I was more motivated than ever to keep going!!! I currently weight 247.0; first time in years!!!! I am not done since I started this journey at 309.8 I still have 97.2 LBS to go but I CAN and WILL succeed!



START: 309.8

    I love the big smile on your face in the weight loss pic.s! That says it all. You look great and it appears that you feel great. When you feel like giving up, just remember how good it feels to lose the pounds. You met your first goal, you can take it all the way!
