29 pounds down, 29+ inches lost, and TONS of confidence!!

Pictures speak a thousand words :). I don't even recognize that girl in the first picture anymore!

I want to encourage everyone to stick with it. This is the time of year where people are making fitness resolutions and goals but get discouraged because most times there is not an instant result. Weightloss takes TIME. It takes dedication, energy, sweat, tears, but once you accomplish your goals there are no words to how PROUD it will make you feel about yourself. Sometimes it will take a year or more to get to your goals. Just keep showing up, pushing play, going to the gym... whichever is your favorite way to exercise... because your dedication and hard work will inspire those around you!

    Thanks so much everyone - 11 months ago I wouldn't have imagined this change.... I would've laughed at you. I hope it motivates you today!

    WandaLou- you are exactly right, one day at a time! Make those daily healthy choices and soon it will become habit!

    Stefaniee - I KNOW you will get to your goal weight! 55 pounds down already, amazing! Keep up the great work!

    Kikix - for the first few weeks I used Zumba on my Wii, then did TurboJam for 4 weeks. I really noticed the changes happening once I started Turbo Fire! Now I run, do Turbo Fire, and a little P90X... training for my first half marathon next month! I could go on ALL day about Turbo Fire so let me know if you have questions :)

    You look so FIT! I was feeling a little tired and sore today but after seeing your pic I think I'm going to strap on some shoes and get out there. Thanks for posting
