 Wonderful update, congratulations and thanks for sharing!

Wow what an update!! Wonderful things happening for you. I'm worried because I don't see myself and an exercise person, did you?

Hi Brenda, I was always active and into exercise in my youth but as I gained weight I no longer could. So it feels awesome to do all these things and feel great. All I can sy is everyone should do some form of exercise because it helps not only physically but mentally. Find something that you enjoy and incorporate into your new life.
it doesn't have o be running. It cou be walking 30 minutes a day, biking, weights. Gardening. swimming, pole dancing and list goes on!

Sandy

lol pole dancing, that made me laugh out loud picturing myself doing that. lol  I do like to walk and swim and who knows what else I will like as I lose weight.

Hell yeah! That's awesome! Grats! :) 

Congrats Sandy on not only achieving your goal, but making the Century Club!!
