  • I usually just jump to the pictures, but I loved your story. Really good, solid advice, and honest appraisal of how challenging it was for you. Thank you for the story. I wish I could print it off and stick it on my fridge.

    Newlifestyle4, with you keeping on, the scale will have no choice but to move to the left ;)

    Amen and Amen! I'm going to be meditating about that and this post gives me the strange, weird and odd idea to start speaking to that scale (as I weigh myself) and using your words with it as I do.... "Scale, you have NO choice but to move left" to go down and stay down as I do ALL that I can and will (in Jesus Name and by His Grace/Power, His Spirit and in/by His Strength) in my daily healthy eating, drinking and moving this body of mine daily". I'm doing it (speaking to the scale) starting TODAY and again...you ROCK!

    Thank you so much for being you and for this post--WOOT!

    THANK YOU!!! I so needed to read this TODAY. I am struggling to maintain the motivation to KEEP GOING. I am just 27 pounds away from goal yet I find myself struggling to continue my running routine. It's been four months and exercise still does not feel like a habit. And because I'm having a hard time just making exercise something I do without thinking I'm not even motivated to add additonal weight/toning workouts even though I know it will make all the difference in how I look and feel.

    How do you get past the mental struggle? [sigh]

    But I am SO HAPPY for you!!! Thanks for sharing your story. You look GREAT!!! :smile: :smile:

    Thank you for sharing your journey. You have done an amazing job! I've been using MFP for over 2 years now and I'm at a standstill with my weight. It's very discouraging for me right now, but, knowing that I'm not alone in this fight for health will keep me going and will give me the courage and strength to stay focused. Posting your story has and will help me, so, thank you again for sharing your success. Congratulations to you!
