    [Do not give up on yourself. You have to believe you can do something, to actually do it. If you put forth the effort, stay dedicated and determined, you can do anything! I always believed that before, I just forgot it along the way. I'll never forget it again. Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. If you're hiding in your home, like I was, it's not a life. It's just an existence. It wasn't even worth living like that. It's worth it like this!]

    This brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing your story, you are an inspiration!

    WOW, you look happier, younger, healthier and cute in your clothes, this is inspiring to me,because i too have arthritis and chronic asthma. the asthma, i've had all my life. may not go away but i know it will better if i loose.i have a muscle disease called Myositis, (where the muscles weaken, doc. said it was in the family of MD) looking at your pictures and story has made me think that i will go tomorrow and join a walking gym we have here.it's padded so it's real easy on the joints. thank you for sharing, i'm looking forward to being where you are now. i know about gaining wait at certain times in your life, i started gaining after i lost my baby ( only) broth to a car wreck, years ago. before then i was always bones walking around, and that was after i had my 4 children.

    Such an inspirational story, and I am SO happy for you! At the age of 57, I feel that perhaps I CAN reach my goal if I perservere!!! You will be at your ideal weight in no time. God bless, and all the best of luck to you!

    congratulations! i can't believe how much younger you look now. But I have to ask... did you ever find out what was wrong? was it really arthritis?

    So inspiring! Thank you for sharing your story. I wish my dad would get the bug like you and do what it takes. He has terrible arthritis as well and I know he would feel so much better if he would lose weight and get stronger. I feel so badly for him, but I don't know how to help him.

    I never went back to see. It has been so much improved since I started forcing myself to move and have lost some weight. I still get a bit of pain in the same place at times, but nothing at all like it was. Someday, if it starts giving me trouble again, I'll brave another doctor visit. For now, I'm thankful it's so improved.

    This transformation is one of the best I've seen yet. You look younger, you're standing up straighter, and omg I freaking LOVE those pink jeans. Even though I'm not a pink type, just the style is awesome! Way to go!
