edited February 18 in Success Stories
Hey everyone, I thought I would post my first success story today. I have been overweight my whole life even as a child. I never had the motivation to lose weight and then finally it got so bad I made the promise to get healthy and never looked back!! The before pictures were around my heaviest at 200lbs!! The after is around 118/120 lbs. I am 5'2" so all that extra weight was horrible on my back and joints! I hope this helps others :) Have a good day!

    At first it was really just getting off my A**. I did not want to work out. I was waiting to wake up one day and be skinny. Haha not very realistic. I lost my first 30 lbs with the Alli pill. It blocks fat so you need to lower your fat intake. I don't necessarily condone this pill to anyone as now, I would much prefer the natural way but at the time it was right for me. I was eating so much fast food so once I started taking this pill it FORCED me to realize what junk I was eating. This helped me learn portion control. After I got that 30lb loss motivation I ditched the Alli pill. You aren't supposed to take it for long periods of time anyway. Then, I started working out. What really motivated me was that I realized that it is YOUR life and no one can do anything for you. No one can lose weight for you. Once these things started hitting me I was a runaway train!!

    I HAVE NEVER STEPPED FOOT IN A GYM and I'm damn proud of it! I'm a germaphobe!!! I swear by Jillian Michaels DVDs. She kicked my butt!!! So all I was doing were all of these DVDs and counting calories. I would say it wasn't until I was about 140 that I found my love for lifting weights and that's when I started increasing my protein. Still, I bought my own weights and never went to the gym. I found DVDs specifically for strength training. My favorites are anything by Jackie Warner. She rocks!!! Currently I'm trying to cut about 5 more lbs of fat. I don't care about the scale anymore as I'm trying to lose inches. I'm eating 20 carbs 40/40 fat and protein right now. This isn't for everyone but it's working great for me I've already lost an inch off my waist and thighs in 3 weeks. Sorry that was a lot of info but I was a little lacking in info in my first post.

    Thanks everyone for your comments they are all making me smile!! :):) You are all amazing and I swear I would have never gotten this far without the support of all my MFP friends!! :):flowerforyou: :love:
