    Wow....reading this story made my stomach do a flip flop!! I was 265 at my highest weight and that was almost 2 years ago...i started getting serious about losing weight last January after a previous co-worker called me fat and lazy (which incredibly i'd never been called that by anyone else in my entire life!!) her hateful words spurred something in me to prove her wrong and to really sit back and evaluate how badly my weight had spiraled out of control. It's quite sad how my quality of life was back then, i never wanted to go anywhere, do anything, and just basically sat and watched my life go by. I am grateful for the (mean) reality check from that person because it lit a fire under my butt!! I am in awe of your transformation and it made me feel a little better to know it took you 18 months to complete your goals (i've been a little depressed lately that i am a mere 45 days away from my one year mfp anniversary and i'm only halfway to my GW) I am now in love with running too after discovering C25K (ran my first 5K on thanksgiving) and scheduled to run my next 5K this saturday :) And you did this all after surviving a potentially crippling surgery and recovery!!!! Simply outstanding :bigsmile: And i'm sure your beautiful family is so happy with your new lifestyle as now you can be the mom and wife you want to be!!! You made my day with your story....congrats!!!!
