    This is such an inspiring story. Some people think they have had it tough and for them maybe that is true, however you have had so much to deal with and overcome. I applaud you on what you have accomplished and wish you the best on whatever ventures you chose for the future!!

    Encouraging story! What was the first thing you changed about how you ate?

    the first thing was eliminating all the fast food completely! I went to whole food only, nothing from a box. I ate baked chicken breast, turkey breast and some lean beef. I got carbs from sweet potatoes, boiled potatoes and some rice and pasta in moderation. the biggest thing that seemed to help me was not eating a single carb after 4pm. once I started that weight fell off fast! no diet is exciting. learn to view food as fuel only. I had to use some sauces to help get the chicken down after a while because I was tired of eating it but my results were too good to stop. its the little things we overlook that can be affecting our weight loss so pay good attention to everything you consume. also, never drink your calories! im not a fan of shakes. I feel whole food is king...

    Your inspiring! I am at my heaviest but I am also at the most serious point of my life. At my best I was a lean 165 and that is actually kinda skinny on me. I'm now 222. Been actively dieting since Dec 26th. Started going back to the gym last week. Doing body pump and cardio and fixing to see a trainer. Gonna take my life back. My wake up call was my 6 yr old parting my belly telling me I'm gonna have another baby. Really hurt my feelings.
