    What in inspiration you are ! And how kind! I am entering phase 2 of my weightloss. I've hit a plateau but I'm not done yet. I recently got married and now I'm all about getting healthy in anticipation of having healthy pregnancies/healthy children.

    HOLY MOLY, you look AMAZING!!!!! And so quickly too. I've been on this journey since December and am only 10 pounds down. Working full time and going to grad school full time is definitely a challenge! Yay!!!!

    I NEEDED to see this post! You look GREAT! I just started using MFP this week and I'm already in love w/ the app. Over the past few years, I've been struggling to lose the LBS and seeing post like yours give me hope. Kudos to you miss lady... keep up the good work. Are those the three DVS that were used for your transformation?

    WTG, you are such an inspiration. I have battled my weight my whole life and have finally taken control of it I think. This community has been wonderful as well. Keep doing what you are doing, because you are proof it works!!

    I don't post often but I wanted to say I think this is a really neat idea. I hope someone that really needs it wins! Thank you for doing something like this.

    You look amazing! What a transformation. You better be very proud of yourself. Once again, Amazing!

    I actually really like Denise Austin videos (don't think I ever tried the ones you posted though-may need to check them out) and use to use them when I was in better shape (I was a fat kid, skinny teen and now fat again). I'm hoping to start using them once again when I feel healthy enough. I've never had abs like you though! :)

    I am pleased to announce that I celebrated my 2 year MFP anniversary! I joined this community on August 7, 2010, exactly one month after my 4th child was born. I weighed 217 lbs when I gave birth to her and was a whopping 196 lbs when I got pregnant. I am hypothyroid due to Hashimoto’s, have PCOS, and have had an ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair on my left knee. I am a full time teacher, wife, and mother to 4 and stepmother to 1. I am in post-graduate school full time. To say my life is busy is an understatement. :wink:

    This community and the support here taught me that to be my best person that I needed to put myself first. I reached my goal of 128 lbs on April 13, 2011 and have been in maintenance ever since. I have watched my body change tremendously and it is still going through changes! Right now, I am averaging about 136 lbs in maintenance (I’m 5’7”). I’m not really sure what “number” I want to maintain as I am more focused on my physique and creating a physically and emotionally strong person so that I can be there for my family for many years to come. This site has given me my life back! I never, in a million years, thought I was capable of reaching my goals… but I did- and so can you! :flowerforyou:

    To show my appreciation, I would like to help some of you get started or continue on your health journey. I will be giving away 3 packages to 3 people. Each will contain a new, never opened Denise Austin workout dvd and some other goodies (like various protein bars, water flavoring packets, motivational items). These items were purchased by me and I’m not affiliated with any of these companies… just a mom/teacher who wants to pay it forward! :drinker:

    To enter in the drawing, just post ONE comment. I will end the giveaway on Monday, September 3 at 12 midnight (ie late Sunday night). I will use a random number generator to choose the winning posters and notify you by PM. I’ll then need your address and I’ll pop your package in the mail. It’s just my way of saying THANK YOU all for being part of this phenomenal community.

    Here is my initial transformation:

    Here are the 3 DVDs that will be given away (other items not pictured as I haven't purchased them yet! :laugh: )

    *Update from page 3*
    Thank you everyone! I appreciate y'all more than you'll ever know! Whether you are new or old, just getting started, or are in maintenance... you each have valuable qualities to offer this community and I am proud of each of you for being here and taking back your health!

    I didn't post to solicit the nice comments but they sure do make a girl feel great so thank you again! I wish I could do much more to show my thanks... honestly- I have my life back and my husband will have a wife to nag him that many more years longer and my kids will have a mom there to hold their kids one day...

    This forum has quiet possibly helped me beat heart disease, cancer, avoid a stroke, escape my family history of diabetes... I will always be forever grateful!

    What a generous offer. I hope whom ever you choose will put them to good use as you have.
    Your transformation is amazing! Continued success with your life and responsibilities.

    What an inspiration to me and others. I'm going to do my pay it forward today and buy some random person lunch today when I go get mine. Always a good reminder to do good unto others as well.

    Also- you look WONDERFUL!
