My YMCA story is one of a long wonderful journey. At the beginning I was over 500 pounds. I was on oxygen 24 hours a day and I walked with the aid of 2 canes. At this time I have lost 320 pounds. While I am a work in progress, I do a lot of things that I have never done in my life before. Some of the activities I do at the YMCA are walking, weights, swimming, water aerobics, water walking, cardio and weight machines and my new passion is racquetball. To me the YMCA is special because of all the wonderful employees. The members are what makes it so special. We make working out a fun time! We share warm greetings and funny stories. We celebrate holidays; support each other through good times and bad. We are a family!
