edited October 1 in Success Stories
It was one year yesterday when it finally clicked that I needed to do something to change my life. I had been on a "diet" for years, but still continued to gain weight :) Having so much weight to lose it seemed absolutely impossible to do. I would look at people on here and think there is no way that I could lose that much weight. It seemed soooooo overwhelming. I took it one day at a time, had my ups and downs....but kept pushing myself. I have never been happier. I started off just wanting to lose weight, but has turned into so much more. I wake up everyday excited to work out. I LOVE IT!! I never, ever thought I would say that. My new goal is to become fit...not thin (that will just be a bonus)...I want to be fit!! It doesn't matter how long it takes. One year ago I used to say to myself "How can I be on a diet for a year or more"? Now I can't imagine myself living any other way. I still have days or weeks when I struggle, but who doesn't struggle with their goals???? Well, here is my progress so far......(hopefully the pics post right)

    Wow!!!!! Good job!!!!!!! I know how it feels to struggle with your goals. I've done that my whole life. I've learned that to trick to succeeding is to keep pushing on. As hard as it is sometimes, you have to keep going. And you've done so well at it. You're such an inspiration. Thank you! :)
