I set my 2011 mini goals a few weeks ago and I was wondering If I could actually lose around 100 lbs this year... You are the living proof that It is attainable! Thanks for sharing a great inspiring story.

Yes thank you for letting all of us know what you did and went through. It is good to hear people tell others that is it normal to have bumps but you did it. I just stumbled onto MFP over a week ago and I have logged in every day and it does help to see what calories you can have and what you can eat.

Thank you sooooo much for sharing your journey with us, and congrats on losing all that weight! Most just post pictures, and that's inspiration enough, but reading someone's story and how they did it and the positive life changes other than the physical appearance is great! Keep up all your great work! I hope to look back in a year and be much happier and healthier- I'm just starting but for the first time it feels like something in my head clicked and I am serious about bettering my life, for good. Thanks again for your story!

Some changes in the last year:

I sleep soundly through the night unless I have a bathroom break and I go right back to sleep
I wake up on my own not to an alarm
I do not have constant back pain
The heel spurs, and constant heel pain, is gone
I do not eat 3-4 tums per day
I like to exercise
I don't mind NOT feeding my face all day long
I read nutrition labels
I can keep with m family members without gasping for air
I can stay in the same section, at a dept. store, as my friends/family
I am more positive
I am more confident
I seem to get more done on a daily basis because I am not planted in front of a TV all day
I don't actually have any urges to be in front of a TV all day
I have gone from size 26 pants to 16 or to XL for sweats or yoga pants
I have gone from a 2X, sometimes 3X, shirt to XL
I have heard more compliments in the last year than in my whole life
I am "beginning" to like what I see in the mirror
It is not hard to buckle my seat belt in my car anymore
I actually sat very comfortably in a movie theatre chair on Christmas day
I willing chose healthier options over junk

Those are all AWESOME!!! Keep up the great work Those 20 pounds will be gone before you know it.
