My real wedding ring...
I'll never forget the day I had to cut off my wedding ring. My finger was purple. It wasn't because I had an injury, it was because I was too fat.

Exhausted and hurting!
I've been working out since 4/30/2012. When I started, I was pumped and ready to go. I was doing good working out every single day. I took a 3 day break this week, because my body is simply exhausted. I have absolutely no energy. My muscles hurt just walking a few feet. My background: I've been using a wheelchair for 3…
