This is a slideshow presentation of my journey so far and how I got started running. I hope you like it.
I started my journey May of 2008. After losing 50 lbs on my own, I was laid off. Over a course of 4 months, I regained 20 lbs. After getting back to work, I struggled. I finally enlisted the help of a personal trainer and got back on track. This is my story.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! I love your story! Awww man, I couldn't stop smiling. Congratulations on your weight loss. You worked so hard and look at you! Your fabulous. Keep on moving and motivating.
You are a superstar!! Wow, what an AWESOME video, and so inspiring. I hope that you continue doing what you are doing, because judging by the smiles in your video...IT'S WORKING!!!! :)
I have just joined sparkpeople this week. I have found so many helpful things that I don't even have enough time in a day to read everything. It is like a bottomless pit of exciting help and encouragement.
Your video is a masterpiece of allowing us to join you in your journey of better health, weightloss and perseverence. Congratulations on your success , wow, what an inspirational video. Thank You
I was truly inspired by your journey to bringing your true self out. It is an amazing story of courage I know how happy you and your family must feel. Continue the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is really a "on 2 victory"! for sharing your video. Your victory has really inspired me and has increased my faith and confidence in myself to pursue a desire of my heart that I had given up on. I always wanted to learn how to , but I allowed my weight and other health issues to me in the past, but it's a new day and it's a new me, "The real me" is back and I will no longer be a prisoner in my own body and I will no longer deprive myself of doing anything that I desire to do for any reason. I am going to ! you're the !!!
P.S. This song is powerful. I never heard it before, I love it. I must add this to my collection. Who is this song by?
So much inspiration! I am inspired to make it through another day; I was about ready to quit!!! Thank you so much! You don't know how much I needed to see this video. I must be reminded that I am not in this alone and that I have Sparkpeople to help me get through this. Everyone out there remember that it is so important to stay connected with Spark. Log in everyday and just read about someone's struggles, Please. This will keep you going strong!
