I started my journey in September of 2010. I found MFP in February after I had lost nearly 20lbs on my own. It is with sheer joy that I have lost another 30+lbs since then. I am so thankful for the chance to lose the weight, make an impact with my friends and family, and pay it forward to the community.
I started out walking/jogging and cutting back on portions. I continue to eat all the foods I love, just in moderation. I progressed into doing Zumba and have since purchased the Exhilarate series and we do it at my church 4 nights a week. I also started working out with a partner to 30 Day Shred and we will finish level 3 tomorrow and I already have a group lined up of people that have asked me to start it again so they can join in on my success too!! I am so excited to help pay it forward some more
