edited September 28 in Success Stories
I posted this over the weekend but it has disappeared. I have been on my journey since Sept 2010, and in that timeframe, I have lost 45 lbs with less than 10 lbs to go before hitting my goal. I have gone from a size 18W to 12 (capris/pants) and 1X to med (shirts). I hope to get to a size 8 when everything is said and done. I have done all my exercising at home or outside. I don't have money to join a gym since I have 2 babies to provide for. I had great success with 30-day shred (highly recommended), Turbojam, and I am currently doing C25K (week 6) and Ripped in 30 on off days of C25K. I hope this inspires atleast one person to keep going even if you feel like giving up. We all have rough days. If you fall off the bandwagon, just get right back on. Remember, slow and steady wins the race!! Enjoy!!!

194 lbs - July 2010 - right after my son

149.2 lbs - June 2011 - 44.8 lbs gone

    You look great!
    I'm always happy to hear people say they can do it at home vs. expensive gym memberships...
    i have give up so many times on 30 day shred, maybe I should pull it back out.

    Thanks everyone for the compliments/encouragement. This hasn't been an easy journey, and I have fallen off more than once. BUT, I always pick myself back up, dust myself off, and keep going.
