I had back pains and sleep apnea due to my weight and I knew I had to make a change

Weight loss story from @redd.is.losingit

My starting weight was 392 lbs and I now weigh 237 lbs. I had back pains and sleep apnea due to my weight and I knew I had to make a change. I love to travel in hopes of seeing the world and I was ashamed every time I got on an airplane I had to ask for a seat belt extension because mine wouldn’t fit. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and I was devastated so I decided since she was fighting for her life, I needed to fight for my life as well and beat obesity. In the end we both won my mother beat breast cancer and I am down 155 lbs and counting.

At the age of 30 I am healthier now than I was in high school.  I was ashamed to join a gym because of my size so I did at home workouts such as Zumba and Insanity and walked the track.

I started a sugar free detox for my first week and lost 10 lbs and changed my lifestyle. I ate healthier and controlled my portions at meal times. After losing my first 40 lbs I joined a gym, followed a strict diet and the weight started falling off almost every week. I noticed a difference in just a couple of months, after about   7-8 months I had lost over 80 lbs or more. It has now been over a year and a half with 155 lbs down and counting.
