Don't ever give up! (my story, picture heavy)

Just wanted to let you guys know that every single comment that was written on here was read and appreciated like you will never know, really was! Thank you everyone for all the kind words and encouragement. I hope if any of you can take something of my story is that you CAN also do it. Please don't ever let ANYONE drag you down (including yourself) or tell you that you are anything but amazing!! Which is what you all are! When you look in the mirror, be sure to see someone who is motivated, dedicated and ready to work. You're here, you're fighting, that's the hardest step!! It's not going to be easy but I promise you that it will be worth it!! SO worth it!! IF you stick to it, you can and WILL do it. I'm not just sweet talking you guys, I've been where many of you are, many of us on here have. We did it, why not you? You're not any less stronger, or motivated! So what makes you different that you can't do it? NOTHING!!! You will do this! Just stick with it. It's your journey, your life so YOU do with it what you want, don't ever let anyone dictate your life for you. I did that for so many years and I realized that those people weren't the ones suffering from the weight, the humiliation, it was me that was suffering through all that, so it was ME that had to get to work. So in other words, get to work and MOVE! Have a good one ya'll, keep on moving and thanks again!

P.S. For the folks that asked how I did it, good old hard work and dedication. Watched what I eat, no soda, sweets, other things in moderation, a lot of veggies and fruits and A LOT OF WATER!! I run a lot and lift a lot! So just watch what you eat, move and you'll get it. I'm still getting there. I still have these last pain in the butt 20lbs to go but I'll get there!
