I have been on my weight loss journey for 15 months now. I can't believe I'm actually uploading my "fat pics" but figured it is about time to share my story....
I am a woman who lost herself when I had children. All my focus was on them and I completely neglected myself. It wasn't until I had a major hurdle in my relationship that I realized how miserable I was and that unless I lost the weight I would never really be happy. How could I expect anyone else to be happy around me when I was so miserable with myself?? I started out slowly and did it right this time after many failed attempts over the years. After 15 months and 84 lbs down, I am happy to say I am much happier and a better mother to my 3 kids It's amazing how great I feel!!!! It's not an easy road to go down but boy it feels wonderful to actually succeed!!!

Baby steps....I started out slowly. First I started exercising 3 days a week. I found something I enjoyed doing...Zumba Then I slowly changed my diet...First I just made "better choices" after a few months I had to start counting calories but I didn't do it all at once. I made small changes along the way so I wasn't overwhelmed. It has worked for me. I'm still critiquing my diet all the time to see what works and what doesn't. It's def a lifestyle change so u have to find out what works for you. Not everyone is the same. Some things will work for some but not others. I def recommend measuring yourself cuz there's plenty of times that stupid scale won't move but I will measure and see I lost inches which helped keep me motivated. Hope this helps0 -
