    This is awesome and hits my spot! I failed my weight loss journey so many times (even with MFP) as I get too obsessive with counting calories, eating the right foods, calculating my weight loss in kgs, lbs and percents etc. As you say it consumed me and I got burnt out.
    Taking it easy and natural – that’s the right spirit!

    Congratulations on your excellent rehab and your inspiration to everyone! And let's just call the weight loss a "happy side effect" of your efforts, right? I loved that you said "if I can do yoga, anyone can!" I feel the same way. I started yoga (terrified) in October and it has been life changing for me. I wanted to do something that would get my head into a better place and the "happy side effect" of that, for me, has been an effortless switch into more mindful eating and the motivation to keep up the yoga 3-4 times a week and then more recently to add in additional exercise. Keep up the good work!

    Wow, great job!! I would think the hardest part (as usual with weight loss) would be the mental part, but even more so because of thinking how you have to lose the weight AGAIN. I applaud your persistence!!! You look great!!! Thank you for this reminder that it's worth it to lose the weight, even if it is the second or tenth time. I already lost all my baby weight last year, but then gained 15 lbs of it back, and I'm almost done losing it… again :) After I get down about 6 more lbs, I'll be in new territory!

    Congratulations on your hip recovery and your weight loss... and more importantly the change in your outlook! That was probably the hardest part of your journey, especially because of your injury! Very heart warming and inspiring!

    I think this was THE best success story ever!
    You nailed it, the emotional up of loosing, only to realize it became the only reason.

    I struggle with that now. Asking myself, for who am I "trying" to loose weight?
    Your story provided insight into my own weight loss.
    Thank you so much for sharing your story.

    :smile: Wow! Such an inspiring story!! I did the exact same thing back in 2008. Lost a bunch of weight and then just gave up and gained it all back with an extra 45 pounds so here I am again. I am now doing it for the right reasons. I have learned to love myself the way I am now and I am losing the weight for that reason. I am not doing it so I will love myself. Thank you so much for sharing!!

    I lost around 40 pounds 10 years ago, and felt fantastic. As adulthood settled in, I gained it back with another 25...and I'm trying to get back to where I was. Thanks for sharing- it's a good reminder that life is full of second chances.
