I started my fitness journey back at the end of 2012! Here I am at the end of 2014 and feeling amazing! and even though I have slipped here and there (I am human) and gained a tiny bit back (8lbs), I feel amazing!! I have accomplished so much over these past 2 years. I ran my first 5k, I went on a vacation wearing a two piece, and most importantly I have inspired the people around me to live a healthy lifestyle. My next goal is to lose another 20lbs and run a half marathon! Let's do this!!!

Before... 220ish

    You look great!! I have a similar body type and used to hate my wide hips that stay wide at any weight. Now I look at your photos and see how gorgeous and feminine this body shape is, and how stupid I was to not love it when I had it. You are such an inspiration!

    No secret really. I had to change my whole lifestyle, minimized my portions and cut out a lot of sugar and sodium from my diet. Educating myself about what I was putting in my body was a huge factor in my weight loss.

    Also, I started to run and I started to compete with myself week to week. I try to fit in at LEAST a 30 minute workout a day (even if it's something small, like walking my dog)

    That feeling of fitting in to a new size pair of jeans helped a bit too, I wanted to experience that over and over :wink:


    I hope this helps, Nobody has really asked me how I did it before. :smile:

    If woman can't get motivated by looking at what you have achieved they never will. You look great but then you already know that. I wish my girlfriend would post pictures as she works hard and looks great also. Keep the pictures coming as they are very motivating to see what hard work will get you. Great job!
