    Great success story Tyler. Thanks for posting - you look great and must feel awesome! Started counting calories this week and think it is the way for me to go, your story just confirmed it for me. As for the trampoline, that is freaking awesome! I had one growing up as did my children and they are fun. Always be a kid at heart - no judging from me!

    Oh my gosh, this is so wild, I was literally JUST reading your story on AOL!

    It's so weird that I would stumble onto this post HERE! So great to read your story, and that "dieting" isn't a cuss word. It really is ALL about moderation. You don't have to starve yourself, or go to the gym 7 days a week, twice a day.

    Thank you so much for reinforcing that fact, and good for you. You're a great inspiration!

    Just what I needed today!! Amazing job! I'm scrolling the topics for motivation. I've been on this journey on & off since before I got married almost 8 years ago. The thing that helped the most was counting calories, but I made it part of my plan to not cut out the things I love, I think that would just make me miserable.

    It DOES make you miserable! Like so many, I thought cutting out the "bad" food would help me get closer to my goals -- it only pushed my further away. When I said I couldn't eat something, I craved it even MORE!

    Only when I said, "Okay, I can have X, Y, Z food... just a little bit, though" was I successful... four years and counting.

    Hi. I am busy reading your book "How I lost 125 Pounds by COUNTING CALORIES" on Kindle.

    I highly recommend it to EVERYONE!!!

    A real eye-opener and I am now very happy following the COUNTING CALORIE way, including a hamburger once a week and a glass of wine with dinner every night :-)

    Not stressing about WHAT I am eating or what my protein/starch/fat ratios are, and rather focusing on my calorie limit has set me free - free from trying to make myself seperate 'healthy' meals when cooking for my family...... free from eating a salad at lunch EVERY day.......... free from banning toast for breakfast............ My food regime is now ultra-simple.

    I try to fit in as much salad, fruit and veggies as I can, and limit the starchy carbs, but I am not stressing about it.

    Doing it this way, I will not be falling off the wagon any time soon ;-)

    Congratulations on turning your life around and your amazing success - you are truly an inspiration!

    And thank you so much for writing your book to help others like me.

    Wishing you an amazing and wonderful 2013.

    Danette
