A year ago today... I made a choice

edited November 2024 in Success Stories
My first log in was Dec. 27, 2015, the day I realized it's not about a diet, it's about a life style change. Years of dieting only to lose 10 or 15 and gain it all back (and then some) only to finally realize it's about a healthier you... healthier choices, exercise, a strong mind and dedication. For the first 6 months it was all calorie counting. In July, I started going to a gym. I still have a long way to go but I thought I would share my success so far as I know that when I am feeling defeated or stuck or when those 4 pounds come back after Christmas.... lol.... looking at other's success stories on MFP helps put me back on track. Keep working everyone!! We got this!!

    Wow. You're doing awesome and your workout clothes are super big on you. You dont look like you have a lb to lose anymore! I know what you mean those darn lbs that come on due to yummy bad food.

    wow! can i just ask what you do at the gym and how often you go?

    I go 5 days a week on average, sooooometimes 6......sometimes 4. I do 30- 45 minutes of cardio 3 days a week with weight lifting (machines) for about 30 minutes. On non-weight days I do longer cardio 45-60 and abs.☺
    This is definitely where my dedication needs to be because although I feel AMAZING after the gym, getting there can be really rough lol
