Thank you ladies!

Amy, I've never been much of a girly girl, until I lost the weight...no I look for every excuse to where a cute dress, or to buy a new one LOL

CJ ~ Have you looked into the Couch to 5k program? that's how I fell in love with running! Here are some free awesome podcasts to use: www.kissmyblackass.org

You look great and what a great story. It definately inspired me to keep moving along. I get frustrated because I feel like maybe I'm struggling more than others or everyone else is losing soooo much faster then I read someones post and see that I am not alone and even if it does take longer than some I can get there as long as I keep trying! Thank you for sharing!

katapple

You're welcome lady bug!! It's definitely worth all the time and effort you put into it!

Like for me, Since Jan 1st, I have only lost 8lbs...roughly 2lbs a month. BUT, I have shed almost 18" all over my body!!! How's that for progress?! If you don't already make sure you take measurements, they tell you the whole truth, not some silly scale ;-P

Fantastic !!!!! You look amazing and I know you feel amazing. What a beautiful family you have too. Congrats !!!!

katapple

Thank you Sherry!!

You look beautiful and so healthy! Congratulations! Your weight loss may not be as large or dramatic as some on here, but your story is still very inspiring because you stuck with it even though it didn't come fast or easy for you. My loss seems to have plateaued this week and in the past I would have probably given up even though I still have so much more to lose. Seeing all the success stories on here is giving me the motivation to just keep eating healthy and hope that eventually the scale will start moving downward again.

Wow. What an accomplishment. I loved reading your story. It gives me motivation that I can do it as well. I am less than 20 lbs away from my goal, but these last 20 lbs are the hardest. I am determined though. Even though, I haven't been losing lbs inches are still coming off. Thanks for sharing. You look amazing!!!
