@Suaniya @ Thank you both!
Thank you for your kind words, your story has inspired me in many ways. Following the plan is a must, I have failed at many things in life but this is one that I refuse to fail at.
Thanks Dub! I had to go by one of the physician's offices that I work under the other day. The receptionist stopped me and congratulated me on my weight loss. She was allllll excited. Then she asked what my "secret" was. I'm fairly open and honest, so I told her the "secret". She sort of rolled her eyes and said "Oh, I thought you were going to tell me you worked out or something" I just smiled sweetly at her and continued on my way. I knew right then and there I wasn't going to waste my time with her. For the past 6 months with the exception of the last few weeks I have gotten up anywhere from 3:00-3:30 a.m and carried my lard ass to the gym at least 3-4 times a week. On the days that I missed the gym I would make sure I did a exercise video at home or some type of movement. Okay, enough of my rant....on to you! Your journey has also inspired me. What you've done in the last year is simply amazing!
Thanks again, everyone!
