    I am so proud of you. Keep up all your good work this summer and when school starts you will be a new woman inside and out. You are such an inspiration. I love the beach and waterparks. I just like to travel. Last year I decided not to go to Schilterbahn because of my weight. My son said Mom think about it that defeats the purpose of you wanting to lose weight, if you do not go and walk all of those hills carrying your tube than what are you going to do today on vacation. Consider it excercise and as long as your family loves you what do you care about what society thinks. I had so much fun that day. I really missed waterparks. Congrats to you.

    I also love amusement parks/water parks. I have wanted to take my kids to Splash Adventure this summer but I know I can't get on any of it because of my weight. We're still going to go and hopefully next summer we can all go to Six Flags I went the summer I was 6yrs old and because of my weight and not being able to fit on the rides or walk around we haven't gone. Next summer we'll be there as soon as we can! I can't wait to ride the rides with my kids :)

    PS. I don't mean to offend anyone but I honestly believe that God gave me the strength because some of those days when I started out I know he kept me going.

    You didn't offend me! I believe that God gives me strength every day! I pray for strength and ask him to help me be patient because this weightloss thing is not easy. You should be very proud of yourself though, because even though God gives you strength you are the one who followed through! :happy:

    when I started out I told myself "your crazy..you can't do this." "you might as well just give up"
    Don't listen to that voice because it lies. Your story is amazing and inspirational. You're doing awesome and making great progress.

    I'm proud of you! Keep those positive thoughts in your head and banish the negative ones. Every time you think something negative immediately replace it with a positive one :) You can do it, I believe in you!!!!
