\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I started my journey to healthy living the week of Thanksgiving 2009. At that point I was considered obese and weighed over 200 pounds. By August 2010 I\u2019d lost 52 pounds and was prepping for my first half-marathon. Fast forward to today: I have completed six of these races and plan on more!<\/p>\n

I cannot take all the credit for my success with healthy living; I have to credit my online support system. From the beginning, I chronicled my journey in blog posts, photos on Flickr, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Not only do I share my triumphs, but also my challenges. I found that being transparent has not only helped me get through difficult times, but it has helped others see that challenges are a part of the journey. I constantly remind myself that this is a marathon and not a sprint. Some days are going to be better than others, but overall I\u2019ll be successful by sticking to it and never giving up.\u00a0In addition to documenting my personal journey, I joined communities like The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans<\/a>, Mamavation<\/a> and Another Mother Runner<\/a> to surround myself with others on a journey to healthy living. We gain encouragement from each other, and on days when I just don\u2019t want to do anything, these women push me to keep going.<\/p>\n

My journey has not only been online, but I\u2019ve been lucky enough to have my story profiled in print and on TV. It\u2019s my hope that I can both inspire and encourage others by sharing my life. I feel a sense of accountability not only to myself but to the folks that have been following my journey.<\/p>\n

I truly believe that having a support system is the key to a lifetime of active, healthy living. I know most people will not share the intimate details of their lives like I have, but you can find a support system that works for you. A friend that you can check in with daily can keep you on track. Meet in your neighborhood for a walk, run or bike ride but doing it together will certainly make it easier.<\/p>\n

What do you do to stay motivated on the track to active, healthy living?<\/strong><\/p>\n
