At 9:30 p.m. on January 11, 2017, Michelle “Chelle” Honeycutt sat in front of the TV, snacking on what she remembers as “a bag of something.” At 43 years old, 5-foot-5 1/2 and 263 pounds, she’d accepted being heavy the rest of her life.
她说：“我以为我会成为那些蓬松的祖母之一，当他们停下来参观时，他们总是为孩子们和未来的孙子们煮过东西。”“我知道我不健康，我不满足，但是我不想做任何改变它……直到他的小屁股穿过那扇门。”
那个小屁股属于Chelle的三个成年儿子的第二个Dusty Joe。那天晚上，他去了他们北卡罗来纳州林登（Linden）附近的新健身房，回家，带着任务回家。
“He said, ‘Mom, you’ve got to go. It’s clean, the people are friendly and there’s so much equipment,'” Chelle remembers. “I wasn’t the least bit interested, but he’s like me: If he’s passionate about something, he won’t just feed you a line and let it go.”
By 10:30 p.m., Chelle was a new gym member.
“Something clicked,” she says. “I thought ‘I can improve my life. I can be better.’”

那天晚上，切尔在跑步机上走了第一英里。第二天，她回去了第二天。她说：“在最初的10天里，我没有错过一天。”“这不是真的很快走，但是它是在走路。我要做的就是有氧运动；我没有触摸重量机。”
It took her two and half months to try her first ab class at the gym. “When you’re overweight, you feel like you’re on the sidelines,” she says. “You feel inferior, uncomfortable and scared to get involved.”
Fitness wasn’t the only change Chelle made, however. Two days into her new gym membership, she foundmyfitnesspal. “The MFP app helped me accomplish my goals because it gives me the ability to log all of my food and exercise,” she says. “It tracks my calories and nutrition levels so I can keep it all in check.”
她的第一个目标是达到199磅，或者按照MFP论坛称其为“ Onederland”。
“Onederland is great to reach when you haven’t seen it in forever,” says Chelle. “I accomplished that back in May [2017]. I never imagined I’d weigh less than 200 in my life, but not only did I do it, I did it in just over four months.”
自1997年以来，切尔（Chelle）是一位全职妈妈，并不总是超重，但她的10磅重的婴儿中的每一个都没有释放怀孕。现在她的儿子已经长大了，她已经交易了电视时间进行力量训练。
“I’m constantly focused on my health now,” she says. “I push between 100 and 130 ounces of water a day and hit the gym 3–4 times a week for an average of two hours a day.”
Chelle finds the community just as important as the carbs and calories. “I have my gym family and my MFP family,” she says. “Women I’ve never met inspire me, and I’m doing the same for them. Their comments push me.”
Chelle recently reached another big goal of reaching 160 pounds — 100 pounds lighter than when she started. Though her old clothes are gone —she kept one pair of size 24 shorts as a reminder — she says her body’s only one part of the change.
“我的态度与众不同。我的活动也是。但是我的心仍然一样，”她说。“我喜欢新的我。我一直是肥胖的妈妈。我不会回去。”
And now, she’s moving ahead in style. Before got active, Chelle never considered taking a ride on her husband’s motorcycle. “Two hundred and sixty pounds on the back of a Harley? No ma’am,” Chelle says. “Now? Let’s go.”
It’s that confidence that keeps Chelle successful in the gym and out. “I’ll still have my occasional Reese’s Cup. I’m sorry, there’s nothing like peanut butter and chocolate,” she says. “As long as it fits in my calories, it’s a go. If not, it can wait another day.”
切尔每天在体重减轻的这一侧发现比以前更加充满活力。万博彩票下载安卓狗万体育买球她说：“我一直都这么说，这是真的：以前，我已经存在。”“现在我觉得自己正在生活。”
