I chose to post this because I don’t fear failing. Failing is acceptable, it is life. Even the biggest failure beats the hell out of never trying. I don’t fear the pain, it is temporary. I don’t fear being defeated (from my own demons or those in this world) because I am only defeated when *I* quit. The only person who can tell me that I can’t do this (or anything) is MYSELF and I choose to not listen to that person anymore. I am proud of where I have come this past year. Life didn’t get easier, I just got stronger.

I absolutely loved this post. I read 100+ stories on these forums and love watching transformation TV shows all the time. Watching people go from down and out to proud, fit, and happy is just truly amazing.

I love your quotes and I think that is what a lot of people(including myself) have problems with, is not wanting it bad enough or understanding that we need to better ourself, its fear of failing. And you have inspired me to know that failure is not what I need to be afraid of because trying is better than not doing it at all.


I have read another quote online the other day and yours reminded me of it "One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting, when one is overtaken by temporary defeat" We all need to understand we will fall but we have the choice to get back up. That this defeat is only Temporary!!

Thank you so much for sharing your story, this brought tears of joy to me and I love u for that!!!

I've read a lot of great success stories here, but yours has to be one of the most touching and inspiring because you were able to express clearly the learning and self-growth that goes along with the big challenge of a lifestyle improvement like the journey you're on. Aside from the awesome physical and health benefits of weight loss and exercise, it allows us to develop lots of positive skills like patience -- learning to overcome disapointment and failure without giving up, and the ability to treat ourselves/our bodies with more love and respect. I love that you were able to accomplish that and write about it in a way that inspires so many others. I also love that people like mayada responded with their own experiences and thanked you for your inspiring words. The reason I come here to the forums regularly is to participate in a community that offers this level of support. It really helps.Thanks to you and everyone who posts this kind of inspiring story. It helps me keep on track and reaching towards that person I am becoming. Enjoy your good health and thank you.

Wow you look great!!!!....I'm only at the beginning of my journey (this time!! I have lost 50lbs before when I had cancer LMS lieomyosarcoma) and
you have written an amazing account of your journey so far and I thank you for this...you are a true inspiration
I have lost 17lbs in 3 months and have 100lbs to go...
I don't do much exercise and this is where I need to change...the way you are eating is how I'm doing it and for me it helps.
Like you I have problems at 270lbs going to the gym but I like bike riding out here in Spain but at the moment it's too hot (I'm great at making excuses too), however thanks to you today! I'm going to get the bike out this evening and go for my bike ride...so thank you again for sharing your journey so far ...all the best for the next 60lbs

feel free to add me as a mfp

I have made a pact with myself to find a inspiring story every day to keep me on track. Your pictures are worth a thousand words, and the words you shared here are priceless to me.

I applaud you for posting your pics, really shows you "own this". I am totally inspired by you, the progress, you honesty. I totally believe my journey this time is working for a few reasons: giving in and trusting in God that He can see me through this, working with a fantastic beachbody coach and very supportive fitness group, keeping myself accountable right here on MFP and support from my hubby and family. Cheers to you for doing so well. Keep it up!!!
