    This is what I needed to see. I only have about 55 pounds to lose and sometimes I cry it’s so hard, but look at you. What you did was so amazing and you did it the right way. I also am losing at a 1.5 lb/week rate and I keep telling myself that it will come with time, just stay consistent. Truly inspirational!!!

    In 2010 I weighed 511 lbs. during a health crisis i flatlined. They brought me back. I resolved to get fit in my forties. I began watching what and how much I ate and began making exercise a priority and also present.
    I had a sustained weight loss of 1.5 lbs per week.

    Wow, got no words. Just truly happy for you, congrats!!! :D
