Today, I am on day 2 of a life style change and know there with be many hurdles ahead but it is people like yourself that give me hope and the determination to carry on, one day at a time, one decision at a time.. 'You should be so proud of yourself. Keep up the great work.

As I have said before you have done amazingly well. You are my inspiration. I have started counting calories on mfp because I was inspired by your weight loss. Everytime I feel like giving up I check out your pics and it keeps me going, as will reading and rereading this post. Thanks for being my weightloss inspiration and I hope a year or two from now I have a similar story and am as close to my goal weight. So proud of you Cush!!!!
