Wowzer Wednesday - Double Dose - Terry and Jessica

Today I am sharing 2 stories with you!  

First up meet Terry:

Hey there this is Terry from @losinglosingitthefunandhealthy way. Here is my transformation. These two pictures were taken a year apart at my sons birthday parties. The first one I was so miserable, and did not eat to be in any pictures. I wanted to hide behind everything. March 4, 2013 I changed my life forever. I I joined a gym and stopped eating processed foods. I fell in love with strength training. From March of last year to now I have gone from 270 pounds to 178, about 60" lost all over my body and gone from a size 22 to an 6/8 in pants and 2x to small in shirts. I strength train and do t25 and some cardio. I eat whole fresh organic foods and drink only water. I found my love for inspiring and motivating others on their fitness journey which is why I started my page. www.facebook.com/losingitwith3 I also am on Instagram @losingitthefunandhealthyway and I blog athttp://rccmommy3.blogspot.com/ thank you for reading my story so far. On March 4 it will be my one year anniversary. I'm so excited to see where I will be then, and where I will go after that.

And now meet Jessica:

Over the past 18 months I have been able to lose approx. 115 pounds through healthier eating and Beachbody workout DVD's. I have not visited a gym at all over the past 18 months. If you are looking for at home EFFECTIVE workout programs, feel free to contact me (www.facebook.com/thebestmeicanbe), I may be able to help you find something that will work for you!! I have fallen in love with taking care of myself. I never knew how good I could feel, how happy I could be, and most importantly, how PROUD of myself I could feel. I never knew the strength I had until going through this journey. I cry sometimes after I complete workouts because I am so proud of the person I have become. I created this page to help inspire others who want to change their lives. I believe in self-honesty, self-encouragement & self-love. I want people to realize that I am no different than them, I am just an average girl who wants to be the BEST that I can. Don't compare yourself to others, you will never be them & they will never be YOU. We are each unique & should learn to embrace that! I'm currently about 160 pounds and will NEVER stop working on improving my body & health. This is not a 3-week cleanse, it's not a 12-week plan, & it's not a 6 month diet, its my NEW lifestyle. My life has changed, everything about it!!

I don't know about you, but I LOVE reading other people's stories.  I think it is nice to know that I am not alone along this journey! I encourage you to go check out their pages for even MORE inspiration.
