My success

Not sure where to start except to say there is always hope! I have never been the slimmest girl around.

Beginning early February 2014, I weighed about 135# and for a 5 foot flat female that's considered just a bit overweight. This is where the struggle began. Here are my "excuses" while working an average of 60+hours aweek, my joints began to hurt,every single joint in my body! By the time I was referred to a rheumatologist (months later) I could barely walk from my car to the front door. After several tests I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called ankylosing spondylitis
Months of high dose prednisone,pushing myself too hard and eating everything I could shove in my mouth I weighed 156# Than finally my insurance approved humira and I knew I had to change for my family and myself! I stopped working (amazing hubby) and started watching what I ate on December 7, 2014. I have logged every single day, reading a thousand "mean people's comments " and started walking. I am up to 4 miles 5 times aweek. I have bad days where I physically hurt but that doesn't mean I am going to go back to my old eating habits.

Success can come even if you think it's hopeless. Just eat at the right deficit, educate yourself and most of all believe in yourself!!!

As of today I've lost 27.2 pounds and 129 days of logging also I was not pregnant in the photos my boys are17,15 and 9
