edited September 2024 in Success Stories
Well, here I am to post another success story because I have hit another milestone. I am down 40 lbs which leaves me at 14 lbs to go; I am 3/4 of the way to my goal. This helps keep me motivated, and I hope it motivates others. Remember, never give up. Your goal is within your reach. My journey started 7 months ago (Sept 2010). It hasn't been an easy journey, but it isn't impossible either. I have went from a size 18 to 12 in pants/capris and a size 1X to med top. I still have toning to do, but that is coming along slowly but surely. Keep pushing!!!

At my biggest right after having my son - 194 lbs

    Nothing special. I stay within my calories. I have had to zig zag my calories once or twice. I never go without anything (I still treat myself), but I just limit it. Instead of eating a whole candybar, I will only have half if I need a chocolate fix. I do workout, but I don't go to the gym because of money nor time. I do workout dvds at home (I have done 30-day shred, Turbojam, and I am getting ready to start C25K). Make sure to get your water intake, it is very important. Remember, it is a slow process, but slow and steady wins the race. Stick with it and you can do it!!!

    Thanks everyone for the compliments! I have worked extremely hard to get to where I am. Sometimes, it is hard to believe that I am 3/4 of the way there.
