Success So Far 243 down to 195.5

Hi, kinda scared to post but will do anyways. I'm Angela, and this is my success story so far. I'm 5'2" and am a mom of a little boy, and a wife, along with being a college student and working.

My heaviest was about a year ago in May. I was 243, and it was because my mom (who was 161 before the cancer that she had been battling and going through treatment for brought her down to 111. She died of a massive heart attack along with copd at the age of 57) had passed, all i did was sit infront of the computer, game, and not eat right and never exercise. About 11 months after that, my grandma passed (she was 84) and then my father was in the hospital for a stroke and heart attack that required triple bypass (he is 71 and still alive).

This photo was taken not too long before my now husband proposed to me in Michigan in 2009. As i said, i was 243.

I am nowhere near goal. I'm aiming to be down to 150 and then decide if i need to lose more or not. I never thought i would ever be in onderland ever again, because i had never been there since high school or junior year. I can proudly say that i am changing my diet, doing exercise, wearing size 16 pants and can fit into large shirts vs the xl. I do stairs, running/walking (i am in the process of doing c25K), dancing (hip hop and zumba for right now) and try to do jm (I have experimented with ripped in 30, 30 day shred, and 6 week 6 pack but have gotten bored), as well as some yoga, and Pilates and occasionally taebo.

if i can do it, you can too!!!!!!!!!!!! I had my son in Jan, and five months later, i think i'm doing all right!!!!!
