Today is a special day for me. It marks my one year anniversary of my weight loss journey. Exactly a year ago was the day I had hit my rock bottom and went to my Aunt T with tears in my eyes and told her I couldn't live not one more day being morbidly obese, weighing 281 lbs. I made a promise to myself that day, that I... would do WHATEVER it takes and not make any excuses to lose the weight once and for all and love myself enough to choose ME...to say HELL YES I deserve to be happy and LIVE instead of exist! This past year has had it's ups and downs, I have lost some relationships but gained even stronger ones. My entire life has changed for the better just because I made that first step ANYTHING is possible when you want something bad enough! I'm so grateful for all the amazing support I've gotten! From the work out buddies I've had along the way cheering me on, to the smoked meats my dad makes to get me through the week, and to all the people out there who have kept me motivated and encouraged me! And I'm also grateful for my amazing Aunt T who has been there every step of the way and she's taught me the greatest thing of all, how to love myself. I've lost 114 lbs with 17 lbs left to go!!! I'm going to finish strong!!!!!!

Thank you so much! And you are so right about that! I have lost so much more mentally and emotionally than I have physically. It has changed all aspects of my entire life!0 -

It has taken baby steps to get to the high level of intensity my work outs are today! I do a lot of strength/circuit training while monitoring my heart rate and keeping it up! Thank you!!0 -
The Success Stories forum is part of my daily reading and has been for more than a year now. Your story is by far the best transformation I have seen! Clearly you have been hitting the gym hard and have been careful in the kitchen, too. You look amazing and I love your muscle definition. I am basically going for that look but I am pretty sure I do not have the drive and determination to get there. Sending a friend request hoping that you'll keep inspiring me.
Do you mind sharing with us which strength training program you are using, if any? Do you just go in and do your own thing? I completed NROLFW and am currently in the process of finishing New Rules for Abs. I love both programs but am already thinking about what to do next. I am leaning towards Strong Lifts but would love other ideas.
Keep up the great work... you are definitely doing something right!0 -
Congrats, you look great0

Amazing! Congrats on your success!0

Congratulations! What an amazing transformation - you have a lot to be proud of. And just think - if you can accomplish something so incredible in just one year, then you can do pretty much anything you put your mind to. The sky is the limit! You go girl!0
