Hi Fitness Pal friends,

In the last 456 days (hey we are counting) I have lost almost 100 lbs. At the beginning of this journey I was looking at myself in the mirror and I didn't recognize myself. It got to the point where you just except being extremely overweight and decide there is nothing you can do to change it. Well that day I was sick of it, sick of looking that way, and sick of being depressed, miserable and unhappy. I was determined to do something to change it. It was then I decided to make a lifestyle change. I eat healthy and the same amount of calories everyday and I also do 90 minutes of cardio a day.

I never dreamed I could loose this much weight. I cannot express how good it feels to be finally living my life instead of sitting back and watching others. I'm happier than I have ever been. I play with my kids more and I cherish every moment with them. I'm not that miserable snappy negative person I used to be. I'm full of energy, love and light.

Posting today to encourage others. If I can do this truly anyone can. For all of the people that never believed in me, I believe in all of you and I know you can make a positive change too.

    You are truly an inspiration to me. I am in exactly the place you were when you started (down 2.4 lbs - 100 or so to go) I hate where I am at, I hate to look at myself in the mirror, I am depressed and you have done exactly what I want to do. I hope to making a post like this sometime next year. I am so determined (obsessed really) I don't plan to stop until I reach my goal. When you say 90 minutes of cardio did you break it up into 2 - 45 min sessions? Did you do any strength training?
