    I half expected to be writing TL;DR but your writing is so easy to read and your story so real and inspiring I couldn't stop reading it. And the pictures with that smile really tell the story! Bravo girlfriend!!!

    One of the best success stories I've taken the time to read. The emotional journey is such a huge part of our overall well being and I see that in your post. The monthly progress pictures are amazing. I personally love that you are doing this the way I am - overall trying to eat healthy but nothing is off limits in your diet if you can fit it in. No fad diet, no quick fix, just hard work...Love it, love it!! Congratulations! You are doing fantastic & I wish you the best as you continue on your journey.

    Wow. I can see a big difference in every one of those monthly shots! I am so glad you are succeeding with your goals. I can tell such a difference, not only in your physique, but also in your facial expressions. I can tell you're so much happier. You are kicking *kitten* at this, girl. Way to go. You're going to do things in life.

    Congrats!!! Thanks for sharing your story....very well written. Sorry for your loss....I know it's not easy losing a parent, my dad passed away three years ago and I still struggle with losing him.

    Continue kicking *kitten* at the gym!!!
