    this story was so freakin' inspirational.. I go to the gym daily but now I really wanna try P90X..

    DO IT!!! P90X is fantastic, though it is a pretty hefty time commitment. And once you start, don't give up because the best results happen in the last phase.

    Beautiful...in every way!

    So, are you going to take another trip? I think you deserve a do-over. Your story is resonates with me. I started as a size 22. At the moment, I'm in a size 14. I was flirting with a 10/12 in February, but I lost my way for a little while. Now, my head is completely back in the game, and I intend to reward myself with one heck of a field trip in March 2013. Who knows where I will end up? I know this much...wherever I go, I will be a much healthier and smaller version of me!

    Thanks so much for sharing!!

    You're absolutely right, and yes I'm planning a trip to Ireland next year. This one will be SOOOO MUCH BETTER!

    What an inspiration you are! I am a size 22 who loves to travel and have found myself thinking so many times (while straining to buckle my airplane seatbelt), "I am so DONE with this". Yet, I have not been able to lose (!) the weight.

    I have finally decided to make it happen and just joined MFP last week. Thank you for giving me such an amazing transformation as an example of what I can do and for sharing your incredible confidence and affection for those who have come along on this journey with you!

    The first step is finding the WILL! If I can do this, so can you :)

    WAY TO GO! This is so very inspirational and by the way, I read every word of your story. I can't wait to put mine out there. I too have a traveling goal. I am at 257 (per my last weigh in 10/26/12) and wear a size 18-20. My doctor says I have a solid frame and at 53 years old I am not a "sloppy" fat person. So I am going to Philly and DC in May 2013 to meet my husbands family for the first time since we have been married, 18 years, and want to be down to at least 200 by then so I can fit comfortably in the seats. I also want to have reached that goal for selfish reasons as well....I want to get some new clothes! Last time I weighed 200 pounds (back in 2001) I was wearing 10-12. I am so excited. MFP has been a real life saver for me so far and the support and inspiration from folks like you has really been a blessing. Thanks for sharing!
