I never thought I would ever beat my life long struggle with my weight! I suffered badly with depression and comfort ate constantly! I woke up one morning and realised the only thing I was doing was making myself even more unhappy by piling on the weight! In 11 months I have lost a 167 pounds by eating clean and walking lots, I now do some circuit training too! I still want to lose another 12 pounds but I'm now in no rush! My bmi has come from 59 to 24 so I am now in my healthy weight range for the first time ever I think (was always the fat child!!) so if I can do it anyone can :) xxbb9qteb0vlx7.jpg

    Thanks for sharing!! My "I have to do this" goal is 80 pounds in 13 months. (I'm cheesy...next July I want to wrap up 40 items in a box & give it to myself to represent 40 pounds lost for ME and wrap another one & present it to my girls to signify 40 pounds lost for THEM). Really I'd love to have a box for each girl & me...but....that's a dream not a set goal. You ARE an inspiration! Stories like this prove it to me that I can do it too!

    Wow. Just wow. You are such an inspiration. You were beautiful in your before pictures but now you are gorgeous! I love the tattoo idea. Need to think of a reward for myself. Maybe when I make it to ONEderland!

    I don't have any tattoos (mainly because I get Keloid scarring and was afraid I'd end up with a nice pink puffy scar instead of a picture LOL) but I've thought about getting something as a permanent reminder pounds are gone & not to gain them back. Still debating... ;)
