    Thank you so much for sharing your story. You are inspirational and I can see myself in you. I have been overweight all my life and I feel for the first time that I will succeed. With stories like this and the ppl on this site, I know I can. We can do this!!!

    Congratulations and I know one day, I will be able to say I lost 99 lbs also. Thanks again.

    I really do wish you well. What you have achieved already is amazing!

    The journey at the start is very, very hard but the longer you stick with it the easier it becomes (as I'm sure you now know)

    Well done! :flowerforyou:

    Everyone on here ROCKS!!! Whether you have lost your first pound or 100+ pounds...we all had to start somewhere. Taking it one day at a time...that's how I look at it. It also makes it less scary and overwhelming. Today I choose to eat healthy! Tomorrow I may choose not too, but I don't have to worry about that today!!!:glasses:

    Great success story --- and I love that taking time and figuring it out is at the core of what you did --- to really get inside this problem and solve it, one day at a time --- is a part time if not full time job --- I am trying to be patient and kind with myself and your story is very very inspirational. Thanks so much!

    That's incredible. I hate the word 'inspiration' and all forms of it but that's spurred me on. This morning I was nearly ready to give up because relationship issues got in the way of my focus. Thankfully they're sorted now and your story on top has put perspective back in there. Thankyou :)

    Thank you for sharing your story. It will help me as I continue my journey. I know what it is like to eat fast foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Your story is inspiring.
