    Thank you everyone for your lovely messages and your overwhelming support. I was so overwhelmed reading your comments and positive responses -- when you are always surrounded by negativity or hearing things like "yea, you'll never do it...or never finish ." That hurts. And every day is a struggle. I still jones for certain foods, I don't deny myself foods, I eat when I'm hungry, I stop when I'm full. I still have days when the arthritis holds me down and I have to just focus on other exercises. I am just a regular, normal person. I don't have a chef, I don't have a trainer, I don't use a gym. It's me, some free weights, some dvd's and a great pair of running shoes. Give up that doubt in your mind. You CAN do it. You WIL do it. You are WORTH IT.

    Thank you so much for sharing your story! It was especially inspiring to me because I can identify with the #s. My goal is somewhere in the 180s, which is higher than most people start out at! lol.

    Congrats on your new found health!

    Congratulations,......very inspiring. I have about 30 pounds to go and feel like its such a mountain,....and will take forever!! I dislocated my elbow last weekend doing a Warrior Dash,....so ,....feeling sorry for myself. Really glad I came across your post because its motivating me to just suck it up and remember I didn't get fat overnight and I won't get skinny overnight either!!!
