Cory, you already know I admire the heck out of you for your hard work, dedication, and persistence. But I just wanted to remind you of how incredibly awesome you are. And I've never seen all your pics together like this before. What a great idea; very inspiring!!

I feel almost like the story you read was mine. It's incredible what diet and exercise will do for your body. I am a serious stress eater and have some stressfull stuff hitting me right now, but decided to eat a greek salad (no dressing) with chicken today. I was bad though and did eat the pita bread.

I know I can do this... I did it before but never lost actual weight. For me that's the discouraging part. Yes it is nice to see the inches go and to notice the differrence in my clothes, but everyone wants to see that scale go down. Keep up the great work. You look fantastic!

PS Thanks for sharing your story and photos. It helps to reinforce that I can do this! And if you're up for one more friend please add me!

Losing weight while doing something I love is the best thing! I cant wait to share my own sucess story with every1. Working on the before pitures right now.

Thanks for the encouragement and daunting is definitely what it is to face losing a lot of wieght. I don't have as much to lose as you did, but at one pound per week it would take the better part of a year. The patience and perseverence is very difficult. It makes me want to cry looking at your success, knowing how long it took and how long it will take me. I need someone to hold my hand while I do this.
