I started my weight loss journey 7 years ago or so, I lost weight (YAY!) but it gained it back over the years. Two years ago I joined Planet Fitness, it was fair. The trainer was good but had other clients to work with. I stopped going because work was busy and I was tired and the drive stunk. I walked into LA Fitness February 2017 and I've kept it up. A Year and a half later I'm 70 pounds lighter. I work with a fabulous trainer I go to classes regularly. I track everything, I don't get upset when I creep up.
It's really hard, but I needed to be selfish and take care of my health. I had great numbers when it comes to cholesterol and diabetes, my only issue was high blood pressure. My own BP has gone down with the aid of medicine and everything that I have done for myself.
I follow a great group on Facebook called Girls Gone Strong and the sub group GGS Strong Women Lift Each Other Up.
