Spotlight: Nicole D.
I started my weightloss April 25, 2020. It took me 13 years to gain up to 300lbs before deciding to change my life for myself and my children.
I played soccer all through school and as it tends to happen, when you stop being active, you gain weight.
I was slowly gaining a few pounds each year.
Then, in 2009 I was in a terrible car accident. I shattered my left ankle, broke my right hip and was in ICU for weeks.
I let those injuries define the rest of my life. Saying I could never be fit because of them.
Over the next 10 years and two kids later, I found d myself at 300lbs. Barely able to keep up with my children and headed to a wheelchair because of my lack of mobility and injuries.
I decided during quarantine, I had nothing to lose, except weight. I completely overhauled my diet and started boxing and lifting weights. In one year I went from 300lbs down to 197.
I am active, happier and making PRs like crazy! Life is good and I feel like a million bucks. The lesson is, never count yourself out. You can do this. β€
