I recently lost a lot of weight.  I have always struggled with keeping the weight off but for many years I had just given up with even trying.  What really got me to re-think my life and how I was living it was when my daughter wanted me to go hiking with her and I knew that I was too unfit to even attempt it.  I was especially inspired by certain weight loss testimonials from women of my age and who had struggled in a similar fashion.  I have now changed my lifestyle completely and I have a totally different outlook on life and the sort of things that I enjoy.  I’m a happy and active Mom who loves to take hikes with her daughter!
