My Journey to weight loss

I was very inspired to post my weight
loss journey after reading Sarah's
journey. I hope to inspired someone who wants to lose weight but doesn't think they can.
Here goes-Two weeks prior to this picture
(I am the one on the far left) I had had a baby. Before pregnancy I weighted 214 pounds. During the 9 months of bliss, I gained 70 for a whopping total of 283 lbs.

As you can see I was overweight.

I was very discouraged after the baby came.
I won't bore you with all the details, but I
decided to join Weight Watchers to lose
the weight.It was a process, it didn't come off all at once.



Through support, sweat and tears I dropped 108 pounds. Was it easy? NO WAY.
Was it worth the effort? YES.
Does it get easier to control the food after the weight is gone?
Not really, it is something that I think that I will struggle with my whole life.
I have learned to eat what I want but not to overdue it. If I eat too much, I exercise more.

In 2007, I started running, something that I despised. Last year I ran my first 1/2 marathon. I also completed my first Triathlon. I would encourage you to find something that you enjoy and go for it.

If I can do this, anyone can.

Yesterday I rode 15 miles and ran 2.5 miles
