Mmmm...donuts sound good right now.

Yep, totally having one this weekend. There is a newer place here that makes maple long johns topped with caramelized bacon. Is it wrong for me to post about that in a thread about losing 133 pounds? Oh well. If it's wrong, I don't wanna be right. I lift weights for donuts.

I ave tears rolling down my face!!!!!! I cried through this entire post. I relate so thoroughly. Im 5'10 and I started at 282. (was 275 when I started MFP). I completely related to what you said about BMI and looking at things in terms of "at what point will I be overweight vs obese etc). I am in the low 200's now and I still have a hard time believing I will make it all the way to my goal. It just seems unfathomable. (even though I have already come so far...I still doubt)

Thank you for your post, your pictures...Im blown away. Stunned. You are one hot mama! I hope, I pray, I have the results you did. Im going to keep on my path, I know if you can do it, I can too! Thank you again

AMAZING! I've never cut and paste a link to a success story on MFP before but I sent yours to a friend of mine on Facebook. Very inspiring!

I not only want to congratulate you but i also want to say it was a pleasure to read your story!!! I don't need to tell you you look amazing because you already know it. Congrats on the everyday fight, the new acquired habits and thank you for sharing your story, you definitely are an inspiration!!!

You look amazing, and you should be very proud of all your hard work. I hope one day to be showing pics just like this of my own weight loss journey. Well done you have definately inspired me to carry one with my hard work, and it is hard work! :flowerforyou:

Thank you for your story. It is refreshing, inspiring and told with such honesty. What an awesome transformation. Even more awesome is the ability to find that balance and maintain!

What an inspiring refreshing story. I am on at work and cannot see the pictures so I will just say that you sound wonderful. Your story is about so much more than looks to me.

Thank you for sharing.

What the heck is wrong with me. Mr. Emotional this morning. Here's what I just wrote on another "Success Story":

"I don't know you from Adam. And I am often an emotionless jerk (litigation attorney...yay). But reading this made me tear up a little this morning. I even closed my door so my paralegal wouldn't see me. Great, great, great news, sir. Best wishes to you!"

So right after I compose myself from the last story, I read yours and get that weird salty discharge from my eyes again (duh...seinfeld reference:) Anyway...like I said, I don't know you...but I'm super happy for you. Thanks for setting an example, working hard, and sharing the story!

You're awesome! :drinker:
