I am a 35 yr old working mother of one.  I stated this adventure after my family made a trip to Ohio caverns. It was amazing. When we were all finished the guide took us to the door way out. I get there and could not believe it. It was 70 steps straight up. Thank goodness we were the last people in the tour. I started out my husband and son behind me and the tour guide. By the time I got to the top ( 3 steps to go) I could not lift my legs anymore. I literaly had to pull on my pants to make my legs more. I was so out of breathe I had a hard time catching my breathe. when we finally did make it to the top, I thought we would be back were we started. No we had to get into a van with everyone who was on the tour. There they all were waiting for us. I can't catch my breathe. I had to be pushed into the van....everyone could hear me breathing so hard. That is the day I know i had to do something.  I hired a personal trainer for a month, 3 days a week. He told me to track my food and I found this website. I am about 10 weeks into it and I feel so much better. I am down 12 pounds but I feel like I am down 40.  My energy is amazing, people our complementing on how great I look. I am so happy I did this.
