I did it! C25K completed! (PIC)
This is where my story started, 22 years old and morbidly obese. I ate terribly and I put on weight, no need to say more than that regarding why I put on the weight, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that I determined that I wasn't going to let the weight stay. On January 1st of this year I decided to change my…

Here is what happened: As I was walking, I passed a young…

I can do this!
Happy Monday everyone! I'm sorry for the small vent I'm about to subject you to. I was so inspired by a picture of one of our community that I showed it to my coworker and good friend. I told her that I would love to be at this woman's weight and to have a rocking body like she is when I'm done (This woman was 5'9 at 154).…
