Almost Done

As this challenge begins to come to a close, I am so grateful that I was lucky enough to be chosen to participate. What a change it has made in my life and my husband's life. We made a committment at the beginning that we would give this our all and we have. I have almost reached my goal of 25 pounds lost and my husband who has been such a support has lost 28 pounds. I have learned so much from my fantastic trainer who even postponed her mission call just so she could finish this with the three of us participants. She has really taught me so much about exercise and the part it plays in maintaining body weight and just feeling better. I know this sounds crazy but I just FEEL lighter - when I walk up stairs it is so much easier because I feel like I am not carrying as much weight. Last night I decided to see how far I could walk and I walked 3.6 miles - wow, I could not believe it. I really feel like I will be able to maintain my weight now with all the information I now have about nutrition and exercise. To sum up this program, it was a life changing program for which I am so grateful. All I can say is, please run this program more often so more people can take part. I am so proud of all the other participants who have worked so hard, too. It is nice to have people suffer right along with you and I enjoy seeing the others at the gym sweating just as much as I am.
