When I Started:
Oct, 2006
How I Started:
My dad died a year and a half ago and I ate anything and everything. Last fall I realized I couldn't go on like that and I started to eat less and made an effort to work out harder and more consistently. Since then I have lost 40 pounds. I have discovered that I have some muscles under all that fat, go figure. Losing the weight and all the comments help me to keep going.
Why I Love It:
I have been overweight most of my life and have hated it. It makes me feel good about myself and helps me stay focused. One of the things I have realized is that I really like working out. It relieves stress and has help me stay out of depression. Now that I have lost weight my cardio work out is much easier and I am noticing changes in my body. IT JUST FEELS GOOD!
How I Stay Motivated:
The motivation comes from the changes I see and feel as I become healthier. The comments and words of encouragement from others also really helps. Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to be a part of my support team! I stay motivated by seeing the transformation of my body. I am getting the body I have always wanted. That gets me excited!
