    This is one of the BEST success stories on here - and I am not just saying it because you are my friend - I love that you "got it" early on - and since I have met you I can honestly say you have lived the life of getting to - and being in a better place - every single day....Thank you for inspiring me to keep going and being a better me every day too

    And I love how you got your MFP name :-)

    What a great story, and I love how you mentioned that you wanted to be fit, not just thin. People really do not realize the difference between being thin and being strong sometimes. Fit will last you a lifetime, thin only lasts until you go back to your old habits. Good for you, and good luck with the rest of your journey. You are amazing!

    I just wanted to thank you all for your encouragement. I appreciate the messages and will return them soon. If you think I have a shred of integrity, then please know this. March 5th of last year was just like yesterday. I remember sitting at my computer and reading as if it was just last night. Just set up your plan, write out your goals, commit, log in each day, forgive yourself and don't try to be perfect.... and you'll be writing your story really soon!

    Thank you for confirmed what I believed all along and hoped I could help others understand. This is a "life" change, not a diet. I've lot 49 lbs in a year, didn't break any speed records but for my age (over 50), I think it's A'OK. You are an inspiration, thank you for sharing such a personal story.

    First, HUGE congratulations! You are extremely inspiring! I am closer to the beginning of my journey but I had to take the time to make this about being healthy instead of losing X pounds. I know this is not always an easy journey but every day is a new day. Good for you for doing this every.single.day!

    Ah .... that is what I really need ... attitude adjustment.

    Actually I think this is why I am more motavated this time. I want this to be the last time I need to become unfat; but it will be the first time I will become wise in my life style change. Its all attitude, hard work and being able to connect with people like you to see that it really can be done.
