I've been delaying this post feeling that I hadn't reached the "success stories" status yet. I'm so inspired by all the men and women on this site that have lost great amount of weight and turned their life around.
This is where I am now. Changing my life around. I started my journey at 285lbs and I'm currently at 236lbs. I'm a single mom of two amazing boys, 6 and 1 year old. When I was pregnant with my second child I found myself alone after leaving an abusive relationship. It took a lot of strength to do so but I still had no idea how much courage and strength I would need for what was still ahead of me. Although I had my freedom, I had never felt so alone and overwhelmed with motherhood; juggling a newborn and an active boy. I let myself go until I realize that I was worth more. My boys were worth more. I've been on this journey now for 5 months and going strong. I'm healthier, fitter but most importantly happier!
So I just want to share some of my progress pics with you and hope that I can make new friends to keep me accountable and to inspire each other. Feel free to add me and follow my journey on Instagram @fitfreshfablife Thank you MFP family for the ongoing support! ❤️✌️☺️

Amazing girl! You are doing great!0

You have reached success story status. =p Even if you are still continuing on your journey and working your tail off! Thank you for sharing. I know it will help motivate me, and I may show it to my friend who has 3 kids. If a single mom with 2 can find time to be active (or at least eat better), then so can others!0

Well done on all counts lass.0

Thank you so much everyone! I'm overwhelmed by all the positive responses and supportive kind words. I started this journey with half the mindset but knew I had to make a change. I was done with being depressed and feeling like a victim. I'm a survivor and a fighter. I'm stronger now than I ever thought possible and it all started with self love ❤️
And as cliche as it may sound haha but if I can do this, you can too! If I can inspire even just one person to not give up on themselves and fight for their goals than I feel happy that I shared my progress and story!0 -

WOW!!! You are and you look amazing!! Kudos to you for showing the before and after! I need real women like you in my life! I can't even take a picture without certain light, angles or looking up to hide my triple chins!
Please keep doing what you are doing!0 -
