    Task I'm so proud of you and all that you have accomplished! When I think about when I first started MFP you were one of the people who gave me vital, useful and uncomplicated information. You took all the things you learned and totally paid it forward a thousand times over. You're such a great example of livig a life of balance while becoming more fit. Love ya to pieces ????????

    I'm honored to be your friend.

    ...You have to want to change and believe that you can change..

    Used to be, whenever I saw profile pics like yours wherein an MFPer is super fit, I think on some level I assumed that those peeps have been fit for very long time and that they surely did not struggle with being overweight or unhealthy. (Silly of me, I know.)

    But until I started reading success stories, I wasn’t able to visualize myself moving from the weight and fitness level I am now to the kind of awesomeness I see in the avis.

    Your story (and others) has shown me that while transformation doesn’t happen overnight, it doesn’t take forever, either; that knowledge + planning + following sound advice + action = remarkable rewards; and that being healthy and strong is possible even for me. It’s not magic. But just as the choices I’ve made in the past resulted in obesity, the better choices I make now will result in wellness. That’s empowering!

    Thank you for telling your story. And congratulations! :flowerforyou:
