That link didn't work, but I didn't ever think that would be good. It makes for good entertainment though and I'll admit I've found some motivation from time to time...

Very well written... Good points. I know for myself, just talking about this last night with my boyfriend. I still see myself at 267.5 lbs, mentally I haven't changed and I need to see that change in myself are I will gain it all back. I've lost 88 lbs so far, since beginning in Jan 1-2011.. I didn't lose it as fast as those folks did either...

Thank you for posting this. Unfortunately as we see time and time again the "instant gratification" mentality usually doesn't work as a long term solution to weight loss. "This is not a diet, this is a lifestyle change" - Words of wisdom from MFP success stories.

It seems like the main point of this article is you have to change your mindset and you have to start seeing yourself differently in order to have the ability to continue exercising, eating right and being fit. otherwise, you will go back to the old ways.
