Today is a very emotinal day. It has taken me over a year to lose 201 pounds. My goal was to lose 200. I have struggle with weight issue for most of my adult life. I have been on every diet or weight loss plan known in the world. One day by accident i found this site , and i say to myself "why not give it a try , it is free and it can't hurt me . I didn't take it seriously until my personal doctor call me at my home and said "if you don't lose weight soon you are going to have major health problems." My heart just stop beating literally, i started to cry , and i just gave myself a stern talking and said "Girl you better get it together or just die at a ripe age of 45. WEll i like me better than that. So i decided to exercise everyday walking, running,. cardio , anything instead of sitting on the couch getting bigger by the minute. When i first started on this program i was wearing a size 30 and 4x shirt Now a size 12-14 , and you probabably can't believe this, i was a size 10 shoes now a size 8 .5 yes i lost weight in my feet, hands. I realize that this is a just the begginning not the end of healthy living. I still count calories, and still drink lots of water.To sum it all up I'am thankful to be able to take this wonderful journey with all my wonderful friends i have met on this site. No one ever accomplish anything on their own strength and i believe that "You were the wind beneath my wings. :smile:

    Congratulations on your weight loss. It takes a lot of will power and hard work to get from where you were to where you are now. Congratulations on getting healthier.

    Remember..... Marilyn Monroe was a modern day size 12 and she's still considered one of the most beautiful women of all time.

    Congrats on a job VERY WELL DONE! You have a lot to be proud of! And for the record, I also lost at least half a shoe size after losing 70 pounds...so you are not alone in that one!

    Just saying 'great job' or 'way to go' REALLY isn't enough here. You did an extremely difficult thing, and I hope you are so proud of yourself for reclaiming what was lost! Pure dedication and a true inspiration.
