Yes I feel your pain, mom, dad & step grandmother died in a 2 month period but, they were all in 80s. i was divorcing my husband but, couldn't because mom's crash flew her to New York city for brain surgery in a helicopter. my husband forbid me to help her. after she was in nursing home my dr. advised me to leave him. I was ready for a stroke my numbers were doubled. im now at 235 lost 5 started over in texas on beach. i have 2 pools. i found a 10$ stepper I use weights and bands. this is sad because, I was in top physical condition In 2006-2010 at 130lbs. running 3 miles a day to peak of my city. weightlifting, swimming 100 laps, as a mom and business owner of a restaurant. my x took my company first born all the belongings were hidden. my daughter flew to me grabbed me and drove us 6000 miles to edge of earth. here I go 100 more lbs. thank God I'm full of muscles but, my hands r disabled ssi and disability kicked in. u inspire me to keep moving. great job. u r beautiful.

I say this with all my biases. MOST of the time, the transformation you see on the outside is a reflection of how much has changed on the inside.
Fitness is not about building your physique, its about building your character. Because the first thing you really change when you get into the whole fitness routine is your lifestyle. It takes discipline, focus, commitment, and a lot of sacrifice to achieve results. The improvement of your physique comes much much later. Before that a lot of things are going to challenge you. Its easy to enroll in the gym or apply for a diet program. But in the office someone is going to have a birthday so there will stuff like cake, pizza and icecream. The excuse to quit will always be there. But once you overcome it it will be a rewarding experience.

Your story inspired me greatly. I lost someone. I don't want to talk about it. But I've been in therapy for nearly two years. I was at 175, but I put on 25Lbs brining my total teetering at 200. I've been trying to eat carefully and exercise. I too turned to food for comfort. This week I've changed how I shop so I restrict what gets to come in the house and for the past three days, I wake up each morning and convince myself to do just 20 min of good exercise (along with walking. These are huge steps. Thank you for the inspiration to move forward. Much love and strength to you.

I saw you're story and honestly my heart sank. I've been through so much of the same thing. In the past four years my father committed suicide and 6 months later we had to take my mom off life support. Ive also lost everyone in my family except for my sister. I did lose my best friend who was like my sister in a car crash. Had back and neck surgery and have struggled with my weight. Im 40 now and putting all the pieces back together. U are so strong and I could just see how proud of yourself you are! Keep you're head up!

Such a strong lady! I hope this story encourages hundreds of people who may be going through the same thing or something similar. When my father passed, I went through some depression. But our parents/ family members would not want us to sit around sad and crying because of them. They would want us to live our lives! And that-s exactly what I did- I traveled and made friends from various countries. I-ve enjoyed my life and will continue to enjoy it, because that-s what my father would want me to do.

I can relate in the fact I too am at 280ish and I get good healthy groceries but I have to eat less and actually eat the things I get. I need my other hip replaced so working out us discouraging because simply going to the store hurts but my surgeon wants me to lose what I can before surgery so I gotta get outta my own head.

My best friend died August 2nd, struggling w addiction and mental illness like I did, but beat.
My son's father died.
I got a stroke and lost my home and job.
I was able to crawl out sober, without anything and I understand. You are stronger for it, chosen for this tough path. Its very lonely.

I can completely relate to her my dad passed, then my brother and now one of my closest mentors it-s a lot of void and you feel like you forget how it feels to be happy. My mother is mentally ill and with the loss of my brother it only made her worse life without family is a struggle

I-m 6-1 and obviously male. I have a decent amount of muscle mass nothing unnatural. And I am nowhere near as fat as her at 287 pounds even though we are the same weight. I-ll probably have abs at 210 pounds tbh it-s just a struggle. She looks amazing tho.

My goodness this lady went through the ringer! Losing her entire family in less than 5 years is devastating. I-m so glad that she has that trainer that-ll help her through her health journey. She-s doing amazing, and she looks incredible.

Omg this is poor woman lost basically all of her immediate family. I-d probably spiral down worst than her. I-m so glad she overcame all of this and got herself to a good place in life.

Congrats on the weight loss. I can't even imagine losing my parents and my brother is such a short span of time. Question: If she had spinal surgery why is the scar on her belly?

I feel the same way as you girl. I lost my mom to an overdose and my step dad (who raised me) to cancer. I don-t have much of a support system either -

This is a wonderful bittersweet story being shared but please lose the music. It's too loud and distracts from what the young lady is saying.
