Unbelievable job! Your physical transformation is obviously incredible, but I find your emotional/mental transformation - the feeling of self-worth, accomplishment, and that you can do anything you set your mind to - even more incredible.

Congrats - you're an excellent role model for many on MFP!!!

What an amazing story! I know that your children are so proud because I am sure that they have seen everything you have went through. Thank you for inspiring others and being truthful in what your routine has been. It is so often that people come on here and don't say exactly what they did to lose, so thank you for that, keep up the hard work and keep inspiring others!

Rachel I am so glad to have become MFP pals with u. I am only on my 3rd week here and was soooooo scared when I 1st started but to read words from u and others who are truley doing this and making such huge changes lets me know that I can too. That I too am worth every bit of time and energy it is and will continue to take to obtain my health and fitness goals. I am very limited due to my back and neck issues but I am going to message u and see if there are any tips u can give me. God bless u Rachel :-)

U have done a marvelous self transformation my friend and I'll be shouting shouts of joy with u when u reach that last 20 pounds. I'm happy to hear u won't be leaving us. I know for myself, I need u here :-)

Wow! Very inspiring. Exercise is my hardest part of this journey. I am losing by watching my intake but keep thinking I''ll work out when I lose 50 pounds to make it easier on my poor damaged knees and feet. Maybe I need to get moving right now. You look amazing. I am grateful that you plan to stick around. Thanks.:flowerforyou:

skcornett

Congratulations on your success! IMHO, you learn more about how to keep it off when you do this without surgery, pills, tricks or fads. I'm sorry that you had to endure negative comments from your husband to get you motivated, but your love and admiration for your children will sustain you through this journey.

You have absolutely inspired me!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your story.Today is day 15 of my journey. I have already faced some struggles, but reading stories like yours gives me the encouragement to continue.
