    Loved it the first time and still love it now! I'm entering month four and while I've been going to the gym this whole time, I still relate to the sentiments completely!

    I also really liked this post. Especially the "chill the f-out" part after you've had a bad day or week. When that happens to me, I try to remind myself that even if I basically have to start over, it's from a position of already having lost some significant weight, and if I rolled the clock back 2 years to when I started, I would love the opportunity to fast forward to where I'm already at today.

    Great post. Thanks for sharing those wonderful insights. Gotta admit that I was almost as impressed by the lack of typos in that long post as I was by your story so I had a good laugh when you made a correction later on. :laugh:

    The pictures people share are so motivating. You shared a good reminder that it is important to take pictures to help with motivation through those dreaded plateaus. Someday I may even start doing that. lol

    Good luck as you continue on your journey.

    This is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing. I felt like I was reading my own thoughts for the last seven months, so it's good to see there's someone else out there experiencing so many similar emotions and still achieving their goal!
