Inspiring Daughter Shouts Words Of Encouragement To Mom On Weight Loss Journey

A sweet video shows the moment a daughter cheers on her mom on during a training run during her fitness journey. Annie McGinnis, 42, took up running in 2016 after a particularly difficult period in her life that saw her plunge into depression. Weighing over 300lbs and having been a heavy smoker for many years, she decided to go for a run – and was amazed at the effects it had on her, both mentally and physically. Ever since she has embarked on fitness journey culminating in completing 18 half marathons and three full ones including Chicago and Berlin. Ever since, Annie has embarked on regular runs, which has helped her lose 65lbs over the past three years. And incredibly, Annie’s daughter Melina Long, 10, has been there every step of the way with her mom – riding alongside her on her bike to shout words of encouragement. A video filmed by Annie during one of her runs at the beginning of her weight loss journey shows Melina cycling behind Annie shouting, “I know you can do this” and “Believe in yourself!”. Annie says she couldn’t have achieved any of the things she has in the past three years without her biggest cheerleader.
