    Congratulations on your Herculean efforts! You look amazing!!


    Your story has inspired me to keep at it. I can't imagine eating more than 1200 calories and still losing weight. I participated in a gym weightless challenge, and they advised no fruit, dairy or carbs for 12 weeks. If I had an apple I was wracked with guilt.

    At what point do you learn to let go, still be sensible, and not beat yourself up about it all?

    That sounds like a ridiculous diet.. Fruit is HEALTHY AND GOOD FOR YOU.. and 1200 is very low. Join that group Mrs. Ripdizzle just mentioned! It has helped me and others tremendously!!

    Amazing story and very inspiring. I have done those crazy diets too, and feel kind of guilty for doing it to my body :embarassed: . Your story is another example that we need to fuel our bodies, and I should take it more seriously.
    Congrats! :flowerforyou:

    Thank you for posting!! That is very inspiring, as I'm a similar build to what you started as after having my 4th child and having trouble taking the weight off by myself. My goal is a size 6-8 whatever the weight may be as well and I am starting out by changing my diet and doing Turbo Jam, so seeing your results is so super motivation for me!!!!!!

    I am just getting started and feel like I am going through many of the things you have. I am trying to convince myself that it is ok to eat so many calories... I have lost 30 pounds on my own 20 without exercise. I have found a unique gym without machines that I love and am starting to get addicted to. I used to hate exercise! Now 5 am finds me up and preparing to go to the gym and thats what helped that last 10 go. I just joined MFP Monday and only hope that I can have the sucess you have found. I am looking for the skinny girl inside. THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION!!! From another fat bottomed girl!

    You don't have to lose 100 lbs to be inspiring. The journey you have endured is very motivating and inspirational. It takes courage and strength to share this with the outside world. Your ability to overcome thses obstacles and still reach your goals, lets the rest of us know that we can do it too. Congratulations on your success!!!
