    NIkki!! Wonderful!! I'm going to send you a friend request now, denise:)
    When I first started my journey in mid' March of this year(2012), I weighed 498 LBS. I had no idea that the mental part would be much more challenging than the physical part. It has definitely been some up's and downs for me,...crying, wanting to give up, thinking its not worth it because I wasn't getting results when I wanted them, which was instantly,... but through out it all, I have been working hard to not give up, and continuously striving to be healthier, and enjoy life. Here it is almost 4 months later, and I've dropped an overall 85 pounds... and 68 pounds since joining MFP... I'm very very very proud and pleased with my results. I still have a long road ahead of me, but I'm ready to attack it head on and meet my goal of 250. The success stories that I come across on here are so inspiring, and lets me know that I'm not alone on this journey, so thank you all so much for sharing, and keep up the great work...Whenever I am feeling discouraged, I chant to myself and say,... I want this, I have to do this, I can do this, I WILL do this! Don't give up guys, we are one another's encouragement... Feel free to send me a friend request and join me on this journey of ours... GOOD LUCK!

    Congratulations! All of your hard work is really paying off, you are doing a wonderful job! I know how hard it is, I started in the fall of 2009 at 272 lbs. I have lost 96 lbs, most of it before I joined MFP. I want to lose at least another 49 lbs. This past year has a tough one, I really struggled going up and down a few lbs. I sort of gave up the first of the year and gained 30+ lbs. I got back on track 7 weeks ago and have lost 22 of those lbs. You are right, the mind thing is the hard part.

    You should be very proud of yourself. Blessings for the rest of your journey.

    Look at you!! You're amazing! And that smile says it all. I am so pleased for you. I know what you mean, the mental is so much harder. You have to learn to view food in a completely different way and you want it to happen immediately for all that effort but you stuck with it and you are doing amazingly. Congratulations!

    Very inspiring!! You are doing GREAT!! You should write in to Extreme Makeover Weight Loss Edition. Chris Powell has helped so many. I love that show. It reminds you that you have it in yourself to push harder and get out of that comfort zone. Keep up the good work ^.^
