Like so many others, I have tried a number of diets. I remember once I decided to made one small change to start. I used to drink a lot of sodas, and I loved Mountain Dew so I just cut back on that first, then Pepsi. When I cut those out, I lost a little bit of weight. But it always came back. Coming up through school, I played soccer all year round. I was always athletic. Now I can feel arthritis in my knee and my back hurts me. I just had enough of aching. I was 262 lbs when I started this journey. I listened to my trainer and I followed his example. I just put it in my mind, if he can do it, I can do it. It was hard for me, but I stuck to it and then as the weeks passed, I was getting around a little bit better and it really inspired me to continue. I no longer felt like I couldn’t. Now I'm 60lbs lighter and my goals are in sight.
