Hey Everyone! I got that ah-hah moment over the weekend and decided it was time to take care of my situation before it got completely out of control. A little over a year ago, I weighed 225 lbs. I got down to 162, but then stopped working out for 2 months back in November. I got back to the gym the beginning of the year.....but I had also picked my soda and chocolate habit up again. I am now back at 182. I put a summer outfit on Saturday and had "muffin top." As my eyes teared up, I said to myself, "It's not worth it. You're stronger than this." So, here I am. I hope I'm as strong as I think I am. And good luck to all of you!!
