    The before and after pictures are so inspiring - but your story is especially helpful! Thankyou for taking the time to write all this out. There are so much diet propagamda - even people here doing extreme things, it is reassuring to see that eating a healthy diet, monitoring calories and moderate exerices over an extended length of time REALLY DOES work. Thanks again for posting this!

    You look amazing. I hope one day I will be able to follow in your shoes. I need to lose atleast 50 lbs according to my BMI. I have a long road ahead of me.

    Gorgeous!! And so inspirational. I am also a former gymnast and still heavy after 3 kids (baby is 11 months old). I haven't been able to find that commitment that I used to have in my younger years. It's so frustrating because I know it's in there somewhere!! If I could stay consistent, I'd do alright but that seems to be my main problem :( Thank you for helping motivate me again!

    Thanks everyone! I just wanted to post an update to hopefully inspire some of you who have plateaued. I finally broke my 5-6 week plateau of 127.0 and weighed in yesterday at 126.6! It took some time, some adjustments and a lot of patience... but it finally happened. I didn't let the plateau discourage me from moving forward. I also didn't let the setbacks get me down. Only 2.6 pounds to goal now!!! Never give up!

    Latest blog: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/bjohs/view/plateau-vs-chocolate-who-won-116497

    I have been on a plateau for 5-6 weeks. Did chocolate help me break through it? :) Yes, yes it did and I am happy to say that I lost 2.4 pounds in the past week! Finally!!! Hopefully I will be updating my before/after photos soon with a string bikini. lol
