So, today on Facebook, I posted a photo of myself holding up my work ID photo taken three months ago, the changes in my face are HUGE!!! (( I'll have it as my new profile pic tonight! )) and a girl I haven't talked to sent me this:

"that program you use, myfitnesspal... is it really free? this morning when I saw your profile picture on facebook, it hit me like a ton of bricks. when i look at pictures of myself now compared to a year ago, i'm completely disgusted. i HAVE to do something because i don't want to look back at my wedding pictures in 4 months and wonder what the hell happened to me."

I honestly couldn't have asked for a better boost to my esteem. even though she didn't outright say "you look great!! so thin!!" or anything, it still made a big impact on her. that alone may have inspired her to change her life! That's so amazing to me!

I of course wrote her back and told her all of the great things of MFP and that YES, it is FREE!! and how wonderful all of you are for support!!

Soo exciting!!!

:drinker: Congrats - all of your hard work is paying off and it's wonderful for people to notice, however, they go about it. Super motivating - go you!

Way to go! Being an inspiration to others is probably the second best reward for getting fit I can think of - the first being the obvious benefit of feeling better about yourself!

Way to inspire someone! The rewards of losing weight come in so many forms and this is one of my favorites.
