Awesome effort great results. And I agree this is a life style change not a diet. I'm definitely not on a diet, just not eating with my eyes any more and making better food choices. You are an inspiration. :glasses:

Way to go, I love your attitude and thanks for the helpful tips, it is a lifetime chore, so it's best to work at as well as possible each day and if we slip up one day, get over it, turn the page and move on!! Paltee

Very inspiring...and funny! I know that feeling of wanting to kill someone for something dumb like bumping your toes. Really loved your story and you look incredible. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing.

Stunning!! You've motivated me to take a break from my Perry Mason marathon and get my sweat on. Thank you!

Wow, I am incredibly honored, amazed, touched, thankful, etc. for all of the kind responses to my post--they made sharing those pics SO worth it!

Some people pointed out that I should be smiling in my new pics and that I look happier in my old ones, which is amazing to me: I'm smiling but when I look at them now it is SO obvious how miserable I was and how much I was faking it :-( As for the lack of smiles now, that was simply vanity: I preferred how I looked in those shots haha But I assure everyone I'm the happiest I've ever been in life now, which is really saying something because I actually never knew what true joy and happiness felt like until this past year.

Keep going everyone!
