You look amazing! What an inspiration... also I'm jealous of those arms. Great work, and you're right you have accomplished so much, even if you have more to lose, you are still a winner.

Congratulations my friend. I havent know you for too long but I can tell by your attitude and what little youve shared with me that you have what it takes plus you look fantabulous. Them before and after pictures are jaw dropping to say the least. I know you haven't finished your transformation, but I know deep down in my heart that you will reach your goal regardless how many times youve done this. Keep being as inspirational and motivational as you are because we all need friends like you. I only hope I can one day return the favor! I thank you for all your advice and want to say thank you, thank you, thank you. Keep it going Red! You are many things to many people but among them, I find you to be one red hot ginger. :bigsmile:

So..today is my "offical" date of maintaining my weight for a year. Where is the defeat you ask?? Well.. I stalled out and have played up and down with the same 5 pounds since then. I'm guessing...but I have at least 25 more pounds to go. So.. I made a little list today...I encourage you to make one as well..if you are feeling like you are defeated...It seriously put things in perspective for me...

Defeat list.
A. I have not reached my goal size.

Victory list.
A. I have gone from a size 22 to a 14(12 depending)
B. I have done numerous 5k's
C. I have found a new love in my life...which is EXERCISE
D. I started lifting slighting heavy weights *wink*
E. I have lost 73 pounds.
F. I am training for a triathlon in July
G. Maintaining(this is a tricky one..but it is a victory of sorts)
H. 3 people that I know of have jumped on this train since watching my progress.

So what is my point? Hmm.. Do I want to lose more weight? Absolutely I do! But do I want to beat myself up daily about it? No.
Please try to remember always..that things do not always go as planned. I should have been at goal size at least 6 months ago! Am I going to give up??..No way!! But I will rock what I got until then...

incredible! good for you!
