Wow Tammy I was so wrapped up in my own head last week feeling like my motivation flew out the window, that I didn't look at your blog post or wall post until this morning -- seeing your before and after pics. Holy Moly!!! What an inspiration you are! I want to be like you when I grow up! 
People hate when we say "journey" because it sounds a little cheesy but isn't a journey something that takes us from one place to another? I suppose I will call this a wild ride (sounds a little more fun) because it definitely is full of bumps and bruises. You have stayed the course my friend and that is truly inspiring to those of us starting out and feeling uncertain of whether or not we'll be able to pull it off this time. Will there be a lasting change we all wonder. Seeing you do this while having fun (and an awsome warrior pose as a profile picture) encourages us to do the same. Weight loss has been on my mind since I was 12-13yrs. old. I am too old to blame my parents lol but they really gave me a warped sense of how to stay healthy; it was my mom that put me on the cabbage soup diet while everyone else ate regular food. I have tried everything EXCEPT being normal, using moderation, not beating myself up, intentionally getting in exercise, and slowly changing my life. It isn't as fast as losing 10lbs a week eating only grapefruit and bacon but I know that this is something I can do long term and people like you help me see that it is possible. Bravo!
