About Me:

After being over weight all my adult life, in 2004 I lost 105 lbs. I fell in love with running, completed 14 half marathons, 4 full marathons and one ultra marathon. 9 years and 2 knee surgeries later I gained ALL the weight back and more. I hated myself for letting old habits and insecurities take over my life and cringed if anyone asked me about my running days - ashamed and embarrassed. Last April I decided it was time to take my life back. I've lost 111 lbs with another 20 or so lbs to go! I wish I could describe how it feels to finally be comfortable in my own skin, as loose and wrinkly as it is!

Why I want to get in shape:

I'm scheduled for a double knee replacement at the end of this year..... I want to be as prepared as possible.

My Inspirations

• My new grandson Emmett
• The real Cheryl inside of me that says..... you can do this!
• My husband who's loved me thru thick and thin and thick and thin!!
