    You really do look great! I especially love how your clothing gets cuter as your weight drops :) I really, really hope you keep going! I have gotten so close before, and then lost momentum. We all know those last few pounds are the hardest, and you already feel so great about how far you've already come. But that's not all you really want, right? You chose your goal weight for a reason! You deserve to be able to say you FINISHED! That you stayed true to yourself and your own goals, and kept going. And not only will you feel so great with your determination once you get there, you will be a huge source of inspiration for all who see :) Keep going girl!

    Thanks all!!!! Appreciate the encouragement.... Funny how my thighs used to be my least favorite part of my body. Getting healthy is so much more than how I look. I am more comfortable with myself now than I ever have been and it has nothing to do with how I look.

    I am 5'2". The only thing I'm unhappy with now is my "mommy belly". It seems to be the last place I am losing. =)

    It feel incredible to be able to go hiking/walking/running with my kids and not be winded. I can actually outdo them now, lol.....

    Grateful for life and the ability to ignore my excuses and LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You look AWESOME and are clearly VERY fit! To me, you are proof that the BMI chart is an absolute piece of crap. I'm 5'3 with a large bone frame and my goal weight is 145 - 150 (My BMI at that point would be "overweight"). But that's what I was prior to having children and I was very healthy and trim.

    Thanks. I have a medium frame. If I was to get any lower than 135 (which is my goal weight), I would look unhealthy. In fact, I was 128-133 my senior year. When my friends look at my pics from then, they say I looked anorexic... Yet, the BMI charts say I should be 101-136 max. I have gone from a snug size 16 to a 6-8. I've lost approx. 30 pounds. It's obviously taken me a couple of years to do that though. I only started exercising this year and I feel that has made a huge difference in how I feel and my fitness level.

    My current goals are: Run a half marathon in October, and compete in a Tough Mudder in February. I hope to graduate and obtain my CPA license in the next year and a half. After that, I plan to train for a full marathon.

    It's crucial to give yourself a goal and sacrifice to work towards that. Groups like this are important because they motivate us and keep us accountable... I love reading the success stories here and it's sometimes hard to believe that I am one of them!!

    6 years ago, I could not even get out of bed because of severe fatigue and joint pain. Every day that I can move my body and be active is a GIFT!!!! Never, EVER, EVER give up!

    Great job! Our starting weight is very close. I am 5'7" and startign counting calories at the end of Jan 2012. I just started exercising about two months ago. I am now at 159. I hope to get to 145. Great inspiration. I love how young everyone looks once they've lost weight. You look great!

    I am living proof that if I can do it, anyone can.... You just have to find the motivation deep down inside you and start walking it out in the choices you make each day..
