Over 200lbs.. YIKES!

I was chatting with a friend about my weight loss journey and was motivated & inspired to write this blog post... Time flies..

I can remember back in July 2009 when I weigh over 200lbs... WOW, just thinking about it makes me get goose bumps.  I still cant believe I was that much.  I dont know what got me weighin that much, but I do know that I did have 2 kids and did NOT take care of myself after having them.  I had really bad self esteem and I thought what the heck I dont care about my body.  Everyone told me I should fix myself up and lose weight not only because of my husband but for myself.  I always told them I didnt care and my husband shouldnt care either.  BOY Was I WRONG!!  I went on hundreds of diets from injections to pills to starving myself.. I was the biggest YOYO Dieter ever.  Did it work? NO!!!  All it did was add more weight on the scale. It was so frustrating because I wanted to lose weight BUT I never turned to exercising. I mean come on who wants to exercise. I tried everything on the books but never lean towards exercising.

On July 2009 I came across this company that made these workout programs. I was hesistant at first because that meant EXERCISING, but I was determined to loosing weight.  I didnt want to go to the gym at all and be around those skinny people at the gym.  I felt out of place at the gym and most of all embarrassed of how I looked.  That's a reason why I gave Turbo Jam a shot.  My husband and kids were shocked but happy for me.  They actually thought I was going to quit after the first day but NOPE I didnt.  I completed the full workout program calendar.  The first day was intense. Learning the basics was hard and was sore for days! Every day it got easier and I was able to push a little harder. Until this day I still exercise and lost more and more weight.  I am so THANKFUL for TurboJam!!!
