So I entered the Snap Fitness 8 week challenge that ran from March 1 to April 30...and I came in 1st place at my location! I dropped 30.4 lbs during the challenge period,, which was 11.9% total body weight. I'm still in shock! As an aside, out of a little over 20K participants nationwide, I came in at number 263. Whee!

Yes I have a long way to go, but that sure was good motivation!

    I went to the gym religiously 5 days a week for 35 min of cardio...I ate a low carb, high protein diet of about 1200 calories a day, and I got a b12 shot every week. I'm still doing all of the above so I hope the results continue to show. :)

    Thanks y'all!

    I'm not sure what else they do but I know that I have the ability to go to the gym every day at 5 am now...so something is working! Lol!
