Thanks everyone, so much. I dont get much time to post these days but feel us oldies but goodies need to keep our stories out there to encourage and uplift.

Thank you to all the people who answered my 'stupid' questions in the beginning, and continue to help with new info each day (and sometimes repeating the old to knock it in my noggin!)

Thanks to mom and dad and God.............oh wait, that was a different forum:embarassed:

Jeannie, there is no shame in sharing the truth. You have shared the only thing that works. Not just in losing weight but being successful in keeping it off. It has to be a lifestyle change. I am so glad you are not only thinner but healthier!

Jeannie,

So proud to have you as a friend. I just love you to bits! You've done so much to change your life and in addition, quite a bit to change mine.

Thanks lady!

Your amazing Jeannie. You will always be in my mind as one of the "original" MFP'ers that I would devour the threads for looking for words of wisdom, encouragement, and smiles And you were always there with it! You were always happy to cheer someone else up and keep them motivated and going, while all along you were doing your own amazing thing and letting everyone else shine. Wow, I hope that makes sense to you because Im about to break out into the "Wind Beneath My Wings" song!:laugh:

I love how you look at things, your posts are always great and always make me smile So, here to one of the orginal "oldies but goodies":drinker: :drinker: We you!!

I teared up a little, you are such an inspiration!

My click moment has happened many times, looking at current pictures of me, seeing the size I am, going shopping ugh!

But really the worst moment happened a few days ago, and this wasn't the first time, but I will explain.. someone at Starbucks asked when "I AM DUE!". I have been asked twice before at other places. It always hurts. But what hurts even more, is that DH and I just found out we can't have children on our own except for a miracle, or IVF, so it is even worse for me when someone asks that because of my weight.

Plus what Tam said is a good point. Your body "Feels" better when you treat it well. I have so much more energy and just feel cleaner and happier when I eat good things, as opposed to the quick fast food meal, that may sound delish but about an hour later I feel like I just fed myself fried poison.

Well I lost 200 lbs. of dead weight (my husband), and gained a kickass car and a new outlook on life. It's definitely easier to take care of yourself when you don't have someone else's bull crap weighing you down! I can do so much that I couldn't do a year ago- I can kick over my head, run an 8 minute mile, and lift 80 lbs. over my head without even trying. If someone had told me a year ago I could do that I would've told them they were full of it. We're all proof that humans have unlimited potential~

Hi Jeannie - thanks so much for the post - I am 'posting' the expression, if you want it fast it will not last at my computer and on my mirror! Thank you for the wise words - I know they are going to help when I am upset that it isn't happening fast enough!
