I am a wife and mom of three beautiful children ages 9, 5, 3. After my last child I weighed 280 lbs which was three yrs ago now. I was at work when my right arm started to go numb and tingling I thought maybe I was standing wrong so I walked around hoping it would go away, it didn't the numbness started going up my neck then my head and face! It traveled down my chest and my left leg after a college calling 911 I was rushed to the hospital with what we thought was a heart attack my blood pressure was 189/117 it ended up being a mini stroke! I ended up having three mini strokes at the age of 24 and had high cholesterol and high blood pressure. It was a big shock and eye opener. I had always been active throughout my child and teenage years and was devistated to see what three kids + my bad eatting habits had formed! ME ugh, I took a picture of myself in a bikini and blasted it on my fridge! And "yes" I kept it there even when my husbands friends came over to watch the games. Needless to say I was humiliated!!! That was enough motivation to get my rear in gear! I started walking everyday during my lunch and progressed to walking lunges then started counting calories of what I ate. After a year and a half I was down 67 lbs! yahoo but 213 was still not healthy. I did a flatline and got stuck there! For the next year and a half I lost myself worth and went up and down on the scale but never felt the victory of going below 200. This year I got my motivation back thanks to John at Max Muscle! So I entered the Challenge Dec 1st and once and for all be back to my pre babies weight!! I can do it~~ Follow me and help me along the way! Thanks everyone :)

By motivatedmommy3 on December 18, 2011 11:11am

Thank you sooo much Jim I was disapointed this week I was hoping for at least 5 but John at Max Muscle reminded me that this is only week 2 and 9.2 in two weeks is great so I have to change my outlook on how I view my weight loss and be happy with it because any weight loss is a loss not a gain!
By NewSully2012 on December 09, 2011 6:51pm

6.8lbs GONE!!! Way to go! Congrats! Keep it up and stay focused.

Be the best YOU that YOU can be!

By motivatedmommy3 on December 07, 2011 7:16pm

I'm sorry to hear that I hope he is doing better! I know how afraid I was, but you try and stay strong for your loved ones! And yes I have my chance to change I'm young enough it didn't give me permenent damage, but I'm not going to sit around anymore and see if it does the next time! Thanks Sandy Lopez I look forward to all the changes to come!
By Stevie D on December 06, 2011 4:52pm

By motivatedmommy3 on December 07, 2011 7:12pm

It was a scary thing to go through but at least I'm doing something about it now before its not a mini stroke and have a full blown one! Thanks Stevie D for your comment! That's what keeps me going!
