    Wow, this is amazing. Thank you for the encouragement. You look fantastic! I think the hardest part about setting a goal of losing a lot of weight, is patience. We all want results now and it is hard to see in the future. I am currently not weighing myself. I got really discouraged when I was eating healthy and working out, and the number on the scale was still the same. I just joined a fitness boot camp for a month. I weighed in at the start of it and will not get back on that scale till the four weeks are over.

    Holla weight loss! Get it girl!

    Instead of just weight goals, I think it's helpful to set other goals for yourself too that are more based on health than a number on the scale.

    For instance - lower your resting heart rate; lower your cholesterol/blood pressure; do a real push-up; fit comfortably in a booth at a restaurant - all of these are excellent measures of progress even if the scale doesn't always cooperate.

    First off, AWESOME!!!!!!! You look amazing!! Now please don't break my heart and tell me you had an arm lift or a tummy tuck!! Your skin looks amazing!! That's an issue I worry about is the loose skin from weight loss!! After I have my baby I will have about 50 pounds to lose!! I am hoping my skin will bounce back too!!!

    Congratulations for not stopping half-way through. At some point along the way, you must have felt like you were already looking pretty darn good and you could have easily decided that that was good enough. I know I don't have the same motivation to lose the last 20 lbs as I did to lose the first 50. The photos of your progress along the way show that, although it comes off little by little, dramatic changes are possible if you just stick with it. Way to go!

    Awesome story and great results. I think most of us with a nice bit to lose struggle with the "is it really possible" question and usually can't see results initially, even through they are there.

    Wish you the best!
