    My journey started in late 2008. You can read about it here, if you're interested:

    Here's what I looked like when it began:

    And here is one that was taken today:

    Goalday-032312-1.jpg

    My starting weight was 385 pounds. Well, that's the highest 'official' weight that I had. I know that I gained more before I started to lose, but have no idea how much. I have lost 62.44% of my body mass and now weigh in at a healthy 144.6, with a BMI of 24.4. It took a very long time, but it is doable. I have my life back now.

    You are an incredible woman and a total inspiration!!!

    Absolutely fantastic loss!!

    Wonderful. It is the proof that it does not need to be done fast. It just need to be done :)

    Wow, great job. I wish my mom would take the plunge and be as brave and strong as you have been. She is heavier then in your before picture and has been most of my life. It must feel great to be able to do things like go on amusement part rides if you wanted to or not shop for a car by seeing if you fit behind the steering wheal or to see if the seat belt fits, or even do something as basic as to cut your own toe nails. Keep up the good work and maintain your new found freedom!

    Congratulations on your goal day! You made such a huge transformation. I imagine that you feel like a different person, both inside and out, because as I lose weight I am finding myself...the real me that was inside all along but not living, just existing. You are an inspiration to us all. Thank you for sharing.
