To Those With 100+ Pounds To Lose, I'm You're Biggest Cheer

***MY EDIT Supposed to say I'M YOUR BIGGEST CHEERLEADER"

I wasn't sure where to post this on the boards. I've been wanting to tell those of you just joining or those of you that have been here a while, those of you with a lot of pounds to lose, that I am your biggest fan. One year ago this month I was standing in your shoes. I had over 100 pounds to lose. I tried and failed many times at losing weight and this time was different, this time I had enough and the game was over. Now that it's January I can see that my gym is extra busy. I want to go up to so many people and give them a big high five, a big hug and tell them I was in your shoes last year. I know where you are and I know how you feel. Never give up hope, never give up because you've got this, you can do it. So to all of you here. I applaud you. I am cheering for you. You can do this. Keep eating a clean healthy diet, keep exercising and drinking your water. Log onto MFP as faithfully as you can. I always tell people that time goes by fast. One year will fly by before you know it. You can choose to be the same size, gain, or be a much slimmer healthier you. Thanks for listening to your biggest fan and cheerleader ramble on. You guys ROCK!!

    Thanks for the inspiration! I enjoy reading people's success stories and I'm hoping a year or so down the road that I'll be posting my own success story. Your comment of "I had over 100 pounds to lose. I tried and failed many times at losing weight and this time was different, this time I had enough and the game was over." rings pretty true with me. I've been down the path of of losing and failing so often that I'm living proof why diets just don't work. I've definitely had enough - and I'm ready to tackle this and make the necessary changes to get where I need to be.

    To those of us that are in the need to lose 100 pounds category - may 2012 be the year that we turn things around!
