I started to lose weight is not to become a beauty, but because of health problems. Before starting the diet I gained 26 pounds in five weeks due to stress and I have started to hurt back. So I could not do any exercise while.
Before 223 lbs

In two years, fitness has become part of my life. I realized that actually have a slim and elastic body at any age, spending a total of 10 hours per week. Once 135 pounds was my goal and dream for 10 years, but one day I was looking in the mirror I realized that I still have extra 10-15 pounds. Weight decreased total -1-2 pounds a month, sometimes I even add 1 pound.
129 lbs

Now I weigh as much as 13 years, but has never been so vigorous and hardy. My husband says that I have become so small that many of his friends asked why he began to meet with minors.

    Thank you very much. I'm not planning to go that far initially. I just do not believe it's real. Then I became even funny at my old doubts.
