First let me say, my heaviest was when I left the hospital postpartum 340lbs. I struggled my entire life with weight, and have always been the fat chick. I finally decided to take my life by the horns after baby number 2, it's been a crazy 2 years... with lots of ups and downs and plateaus, but it's been a process. One that has brought small victories, and changes in me and around me.
Today I choose to live and enjoy life, not live wishing I could enjoy life. I have a hell of a ways to go to meet my goal but I thought I'd share my journey thus far. It's not easy, nothing worth having ever is. But I just stay focused, and I try to avoid set backs... I'm thankful everyday for change.
The pictures below serve as motivation to keep going, and go hard, then go harder!





I have a ways to go, but I'm riding this one til the wheels fall off... aka meet my goal weight.
Thanks for letting me share. Stay inspired and keep inspiring myfitfriends.
