Today is a very special day for me, I have reached the halfway point in my weight loss, 50 pounds gone ! I feel so incredible, not just by the way I look but the energy I have. I had no idea that changing the amount of food I eat and adding exercise to my diet would do so many wonderful things.
A bit of my story.... I am 28 years old 5'5 started at 235 pounds. I was always slim growing up 135 pounds before having kids and then I had six kids back to back and one after another I started getting bigger and bigger. I had such low self esteem and started to hate myself. December 2013 I went to a Christmas party and remember sitting there and looking around at everyone and thought, I'm not going to see any of these people until this time next year, why not do something different this year? After that I joined the gym, got on MFP and totally changed my life. It seriously was that simple. Hard work and dedication pay off and I am so thankful for all my friends and family who have encouraged my this far.
