    Sara Sara Sara..... You are amazing! You have done such a great job and Everyone on this site or not can benefit from your knowledge. You amaze me and i'm sure others with your daily progresses and limit breaks on your lifts. You also are undeniably one of the greatest friends someone can have.

    Thank You for being such a great inspiration and most importantly a great friend

    On MFP and IRL.

    Can I be you when I grow up? You look amazing!

    Also I don't know if you already said this but how tall are you? I'm aiming for somewhere around your weight, about 11 pounds to go!

    You will notice a progression…as I lost my weight, I also lost my clothes in my pics…
    I am one of those strange women who likes to weigh a lot (assuming a low body fat of course!).
    In closing, I would like to send my hugs and kisses (and the occasional sneaky grope) to all my friends on here and to all the people who have supported, encouraged and empowered me, whether they are on my FL or not.

    :laugh: :heart: the humor. This is why I follow you.
    Another challenge that *may* be next is to start doing powerlifting competitions – just small amateur stuff and for fun.
    omg I am so excited for you! Please keep us updated and post pics! You're a tiger! And you're looking absolutely amazing. I hope you have a sense of how powerful you look. I'm sure many men would rather sex you up then many 20 year olds lol.

    :heart: SideSteel, MoreBean Yourself and Taso, I'm pretty sure they are up there on a lot of peoples favorite list for many reasons from smarts to compassion to experience to humor :love:
