    Of all the people that I have followed on MFP, you are the one that truly inspires me with your determination, dedication and all around badassedness (I made that word up, but I think it fits). I wonder if you know how much you have helped and encouraged people to do things that they didn't think they were capable of doing.
    Thank you so much!

    In all honesty, though, I am nothing special. I put in the work, but that's all. Anyone can do this, and that's what I hope people get out of this.
    In addition to the daunting task of trying to shed a large amount of weight, we also all have obstacles in our way - some people have medical conditions that limit their food choices or make exercise more difficult. Some have busy schedules. Everyone has obstacles.

    I'm a mother of a special-needs child, a full-time employee, and I have gone through a divorce as well as battled with my bipolar disorder during the course of my weight loss; however, those are obstacles, not excuses.

    As long as people look at things that way, they are bound to succeed.

    AWESOME! It seriously looks like you went back in time and got younger as the posts went along! Do you know if you're considered to have a "large frame" or small frame? I'm 5'10" as well, and when I told my doctor I wanted to hit about 155, he said that I would look too thin at that weight.
    Technically, I have a large frame, but it's not too far off from being a medium frame. I definitely don't want to get any lower weight-wise than I am now regardless.

    I actually am not weighing for a while - I'm working on increasing my strength and am actually eating above maintenance to fill in those ribs a bit. I never wanted to be skinny - just fit and healthy.

    WOW. Seriously, WOW! You give me such hope. I know i can get down to where I want to be. I love seeing stories like yours here on MFP. REAL people, REAL success. I am tall also, 5'8", 'big boned'. But i can't wait to see what less than 200 lbs looks like on my 'big bones'. :)

    You look amazing! I struggle with my high body fat percentage (hovering at 39% right now) but I know if you were able to cut yours by more than half, it's possible for me to get to something more reasonable.

    I'm visiting your blog and following right now! :happy:
