Before and After pics 247 to 139 and still going

I've never posted a photo in a forum before so hoping this works. Here is a collage of how far I have come thus far. I'm holding my 8 year old son in the second photo.

My name is Lori and I am a single mother of 3 in Missouri. I've lost 108 lbs so far and going for my goal of 125lbs. I am just under 5'4. I had to hit rock bottom health wise to wake up and realize that I had to make a complete and total lifestyle change. I was in a miserable marriage and had let myself gain weight that I didn't lose with each pregnancy. I said good bye to fast food and hello to exercising DAILY. I remember not being able to last 10 minutes in my first step class. I set small goals and by the end of one year I had lost my first 70 lbs! I deal with high blood pressure and suffer with episodes of PSVT where my heart rate goes into the upper 200's. I had no family living near me to lean on for support. My ex told me his new girlfriend was skinnier than me and that I was fat and ugly and that was AFTER I had lost 80lbs!!! If I can do it ANYONE can do it!

PERSEVERANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please if you are on here trying to lose weight NEVER and I mean NEVER give up. I promise you it is soooo worth it. You will feel amazing and you WILL get your health back. If you have children they are counting on you to be there for them. It's not easy. You have to eat HEALTHY and you have to get up off the couch and MOVE MOVE MOVE. But the reward if you don't give up is worth it all.

Blessings,
Lori
