Don't Give up! It takes time..

Hey everyone
My name is Jeremy. This time last year I decided enough was enough and I needed to change my unhealthy lifestyle. It was my New Years resolution to loose some weight. I started off at a weight of 245 lbs. my daily routine was having a can of coke, eating fast food once a day with no exercise!
It was hard to change my routine. And it took a really long time for me to overcome my cravings! I began to go to the gym once a day for atleast an hour doing cardio! stopped drinking pop and cut out fast food.
It was discouraging at first. I lost 10 lbs within the first month as that was all water weight and than it took a while to get the rest off. It takes time to see results. And I wasn't the first person to notice a change. People in my class noticed before I did!
It's hard work! But it's worth it not only when you feel good but also have more confidence with yourself!
I lost 70lbs since last year and don't plan to gain any of it back. Don't think of it as Dieting. Think of it as your lifestyle change.!
