    Congratulations on your huge success, and thank you so much for the post. I really needed that today. I have lost 72 pounds total so far (part was lost before I found MFP), but I have found myself a little shaky in my resolve lately due to life stressors that inevitably show up. your post has helped me so much. I am taking this weekend to get back to my plan.
    Thanks again and continued success to you.

    Kat:

    Not only is your name great, you are great. I happy dance with you for all of your success!

    At age 56 and knocking on the door to Onederland (only 4 more pounds to go), you hit the nail square when you said that changing is not about losing the weight but about prioritizing and caring for yourself.

    I'm making one additional change this week that I think will help me and one that you didn't mention. To get more water in my day, I'm going to consciously eat more water-based foods - cucumbers and such, as well as start each evening meal with a broth-based soup. I can't wait to see if this change will also make me feel even better on my journey.

    Again, thanks for sharing your story - a well-balanced, common-sense and, paradoxically, magical one!

    -Debra

    I loved your story. I didn't even need to see the pictures, I could tell from your story that you must look like a happy, healthy person now. The pictures are just the icing on the cake (hm, maybe not the best of analogies - the hummus on the carrots? the salsa on the cucumbers?)

    Congratulations on building a new life for yourself!

    Edited to add:
    Do what works for you, don’t let negative people/comments/feelings get you down. You are worthy of being cared for, no matter what your size and weight. You are important and valuable. Forgive yourself and move forward. heart

    The best advice you can ever give anyone.

    Fantastic! Wish I could have lost as much/as fast as you during my first year - but I'm with you on feeling so much better! Not easy for us postmenopausal women to get the weight off but so worth it.
